Tkaczów

Tkaczów is the name of several villages in Poland. The toponym derives from the Polish word tkacz, meaning weaver, with the suffix -ów, a common formation in rural Polish place names that often signified ownership or association with a craft or family.

Because Tkaczów is not unique to a single location, references to Tkaczów typically require specifying the voivodeship, county, or gmina to identify the exact village. In Poland, villages are administratively part of a gmina within a county (powiat) in a voivodeship (województwo). A village named Tkaczów may have its own sołectwo or be a part of a larger sołectwo within the gmina.

Typical characteristics of villages bearing this name include rural land use, small populations, and local infrastructure centered on agriculture and regional services. Architectural styles reflect local building traditions and weather conditions, with buildings ranging from traditional wooden houses to brick structures, depending on the region.

Historical records in Poland often show toponyms like Tkaczów dating back to the medieval period, reflecting the occupations of early inhabitants or the ownership of estates by local craftspeople or families.
