Suchowe

Suchowe is a toponym used in Poland to refer to several villages and settlements rather than a single, unified place. In linguistic contexts, it also relates to the Polish adjective suchy, meaning dry. As a name, Suchowe commonly appears in rural areas and may occur in different inflected forms depending on grammatical case and number.

The etymology of Suchowe traces to the Polish root suchy and related historical terms for dryness or aridity. The toponymic use often signals landscapes with dry soils, sparse vegetation, or seasonal dryness, and it may be found in historical land records and cartographic descriptions as a geographic descriptor embedded in place names.

Geographically, Suchowe is not confined to one location; the name appears in multiple voivodeships and counties across Poland. This pattern is typical for Polish toponyms formed from common adjectives, which leads to several distinct places sharing the same name. Distinguishing among them in research or travel generally requires additional qualifiers such as the surrounding town, county, or voivodeship.

In usage, Suchowe is primarily of local or regional interest. It appears in postal addresses, regional histories, and genealogical records. There are no universally recognized historic events or institutions canonically associated with the name, reinforcing its role as a descriptive, rather than a singularly prominent, toponym.
