Przesze

Przesze is a name that may refer to multiple uses in Polish language and geography. In toponymy, Przesze designates small settlements or villages that appear in regional gazetteers and local histories. These places are typically rural and form part of a gmina within a voivodeship; exact affiliations vary by locality and are documented in local records rather than in national reference works.

The etymology of the toponym is not settled in widely cited sources. The element may derive from older Polish geographic-name formations or from a feature of the landscape associated with the site, but there is no consensus on its origin.

Apart from its use as a place name, Przesze can also occur as a rare surname. In practice, it is not common, and notable individuals are not widely documented in major biographical compilations. Genealogical and parish records from Polish-speaking communities occasionally contain instances of the name.

Because Przesze is relatively obscure, information about specific locales bearing the name is often local in scope. For precise details about a given Przesze, consult regional gazetteers, municipal websites, or parish registries. See also related toponyms that share the Prz- or -ze elements in Polish nomenclature.
