Wielkiej

Wielkiej is a Polish toponymic element that appears in the names of several small settlements and geographic features in Poland. It is not typically used as the stand-alone name of a town or village in official records; rather, it functions as the feminine genitive form of the adjective wielka, meaning “great” or “large,” and it often indicates association with a feature, person, or historic estate named Wielka.

Usage and distribution: in practice, Wielkiej occurs as part of longer place names across various regions. It is found in rural areas and historical records, where a multi-element name refers to a locality connected with a preceding word or name. Because Polish toponymy features many compound names, Wielkiej can appear in different contexts, sometimes signaling proximity to a notable landscape, landholding, or traditional locality.

Etymology: the form Wielkiej derives from wielka, with the feminine genitive ending. In toponymic usage this form is common for linking words within compound names, rather than as an independent primary name.

Notable instances: there is no widely recognized settlement that uses the sole name “Wielkiej” in major gazetteers. Instead, the element typically appears as a component of longer, multi-element place names.
