gocie

Gocie is a toponym used for several small settlements in Poland. The name appears in regional gazetteers and administrative records, but there is no single comprehensive article that covers all instances of the name.

The exact number and locations of places named Gocie vary across sources and over time, as administrative borders and settlement status can change. The localities bearing the name are typically rural and small, with economies based on agriculture, forestry, or commuting to nearby towns.

Etymology is not clearly documented in standard references. The toponym Gocie may derive from historical personal names, a Slavic root, or local topographic or possessive forms; however, there is no widely accepted consensus on its precise origin.

Administration: Each Gocie is part of a gmina (municipality) and a powiat (county) within a voivodeship, and is subject to local governance at the gmina level. Current details are recorded in the National Official Register of Territorial Division of the Country (TERYT) maintained by the Central Statistical Office (GUS) of Poland.

Because Gocie refers to multiple places rather than a single location, information is typically found in regional registers, local histories, and maps. Researchers or travelers should consult the specific gmina or county records to identify the exact Gocie being referenced.
