przyborów

Przyborów is the name of several villages in Poland. As a toponym it is used in more than one region, reflecting a common pattern of place names linked to geographic features and landscape.

Etymology and meaning: The name arises from the Polish elements przy- meaning “by” or “near” and bor (or bór), a word for a forest. Together they suggest a location situated near a forest, a characteristic that was often used when naming settlements.

Geography and administration: Each Przyborów is a separate village, typically part of a rural gmina within a Polish county. These settlements are generally small and rural in character, with local histories and parish affiliations tied to their respective communities.

Notable features and use: There is no single Przyborów that stands out as a major urban center; instead, the name refers to multiple localities, each with its own local customs, attractions, and historical context typical of small Polish villages. Because the same name appears in different places, precise references usually specify the voivodeship and county to distinguish between them.

Disambiguation and references: When researching or referring to Przyborów, it is common to specify the exact administrative district (voivodeship and county) to avoid confusion with other villages of the same name. In reference works, Przyborów is treated as a disambiguation term due to its multiple instances.
