Przejcie

Przejcie is a toponym used in Poland for several small settlements. It does not denote a single, widely known place; instead, multiple locations bear the name in different regions. The name is derived from the Polish noun przejście, meaning a crossing or passage, and typically reflects historical geographic features such as a river crossing, ford, or road crossing near the settlement site.

Administrative status varies by location: each Przejcie is part of a larger administrative unit—usually a gmina—within a voivodeship. Because the name is not unique, references to Przejcie must be linked to the corresponding locality to avoid ambiguity.

Historically, places named for crossings often emerged at junctions of travel routes or near waterways, and some developed into rural villages or hamlets. In the course of Poland's administrative reforms in the 20th century and again after 1999, boundaries and affiliations of such settlements changed, but the place name itself persisted in local usage and official records.

Other related terms include przejście (crossing) and przejścia (plural). Notes: If you are looking for a specific Przejcie, consult regional gazetteers or the relevant gmina's records for precise location, governance, and population data.
