Kocowy

Kocowy is a Polish toponym and surname. In geographical usage, it can refer to several small settlements in Poland; none are major urban centers, and the precise location and administrative affiliation depend on the locality in question.

As a surname, Kocowy appears among Polish-speaking populations and can be found in genealogical records and contemporary name lists. Like many Polish names, its occurrence may reflect regional, historical, or familial origins.

Etymology and usage: The form Kocowy follows a common Polish pattern in toponymy, where an adjective-like ending denotes relation to a place or feature. The specific origins of the name can vary between localities and are typically tied to historical names, landmarks, or land ownership in different regions.

Because Kocowy can refer to more than one place or person, context is important for determining which Kocowy is being discussed. If you have a particular Kocowy in mind, identifying the associated voivodeship, county, or province can help pinpoint the relevant settlement or records.
