Urodzony

Urodzony is a Polish adjective and past participle meaning "born." It is derived from the verb urodzić, meaning "to give birth," and is used to describe a person in biographical or genealogical contexts. Like other Polish past participles used as adjectives, it agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

The standard forms are: masculine singular urodzony; feminine singular urodzona; neuter singular urodzone; masculine personal plural urodzeni; non-masculine plural urodzone. These forms mirror the agreement rules of Polish adjectives and participles, affecting how the word appears in front of a noun.

In usage, urodzony is typically employed to indicate a person’s birth, as in biographical notes or official records. A male subject is described with “urodzony,” a female subject with “urodzona.” Phrases such as “urodzony w [mieście]” or “urodzony w [roku]” are common in Polish biographical writing and genealogical research. The construction functions similarly to the English past participle “born” when placed before or after a noun to provide essential identifying information.

In translation, urodzony is usually rendered as “born” in English biographies or summaries. It is not a standalone noun and does not function as a title; rather, it serves as a grammatical descriptor that ties birth information to a person. The term is widely recognized in standard Polish and appears across formal and informal biographical contexts.
