Linneusza

Linneusza is a toponym used in Poland to name streets, squares, and occasionally districts in several towns. The name honors the 18th-century naturalist Carl von Linné, commonly referred to in Polish as Karol Linneusz.

The form Linneusza is the genitive form of Linneusz in Polish, used in toponyms such as Ulica Linneusza or Aleja Linneusza. The practice reflects a broader tradition of naming public spaces after scientists and scholars.

Linneusza appears in multiple municipalities across Poland, without representing a single administrative entity. It is more common in urban areas that underwent post-World War II expansion and that employed street-naming programs emphasizing science and education.

In many locales, Linneusza streets are located near schools, libraries, or cultural institutions, underscoring the educational associations of the name.
