Wodnie

Wodnie is a toponym used for several small settlements in Poland. It does not refer to a single, continuous town; rather, multiple villages or hamlets bear the name in different administrative regions. The etymology derives from the Polish word woda (water) and the common suffix -nie in place names, suggesting origins near a body of water or wetland.

In terms of geography, localities named Wodnie are generally rural and lie within various gminas (municipalities), counties (powiats), and voivodeships. The exact location, population, and administrative affiliations differ from one Wodnie to another. As typical for Polish villages, they are often part of agricultural areas and may be characterized by small populations and limited local services. Some Wodne localities have historical roots dating back to the medieval period, while others may be comparatively recent.

Notable features vary by locality. A Wodnie in one region might have a church, a small cultural site, or a rural crossroads; another may be primarily residential or agricultural. Because the name is shared by several places, any specific information about Wodnie usually requires a contextual qualifier such as the voivodeship or gmina.
