Wysoka

Wysoka is a Polish word meaning "high" or "tall." It is the feminine form of the adjective wysoki and is used in Polish grammar to describe height or elevation. Beyond its descriptive use, Wysoka also functions as a toponym, the name of several places in Poland.

As a geographic name, Wysoka designates multiple villages and settlements located in different voivodeships across the country. The recurrence of the name reflects a common practice of naming places after local geographic features, often indicating that the locality sits on elevated ground or near a hill or high point relative to the surrounding landscape.

Because Wysoka is a common toponym, disambiguation is frequently necessary in official maps and documents. Distinctions between locations sharing the name are typically made by adding information about the corresponding county or voivodeship. In addition to its use as a place name, the form also appears in everyday Polish as an inflected, gendered modifier describing things described as high or tall, depending on the noun it modifies.
