Surowo

Surowo is a toponym used for multiple villages in Poland. The name derives from the Polish adjective surowy, meaning "raw" or "severe," and it is a common element in Polish place names that may reflect historical, landscape, or climatic characteristics associated with the area.

In Poland, each place named Surowo is an independent locality that forms part of a gmina (municipality), within a powiat (county), in a voivodeship (province). As such, Surowo villages are typically small rural settlements with local governance administered at the gmina level. The recurrence of the name across different regions reflects historical naming practices where descriptive terms were used to distinguish places.

The exact details of a specific Surowo—such as its administrative affiliations, population, and local features—depend on its precise location. Because multiple places share the same name, identifying a particular Surowo usually requires accompanying information like the voivodeship or county.
