Podgórne

Podgórne is a Polish place name that refers to several distinct locations in Poland. The name is formed from pod- meaning “under,” “at the foot of,” and górne meaning “hill” or “mountain,” indicating a geographic position relative to a nearby elevation. As a toponym, Podgórne is applied to villages and small settlements rather than large towns, and each Podgórne is a separate community within its own administrative units. In official records, a Podgórne typically appears as part of a gmina (municipality) and a county within a particular voivodeship. Because the same name appears in multiple places, ambiguity is usually resolved by specifying the relevant voivodeship or county when identifying a specific Podgórne. The various Podgórne localities share the common features of being rural settlements, but they are not collectively administered as a single entity. When researching or visiting, it is important to confirm the exact location by consulting local administrative records or maps.
