przybrzene

Przybrzeżne is a Polish toponym and adjective meaning "coastal" or "near the shore." The word derives from przybrzeże, formed from przy- (near) and brzeg (shore). In Polish geography, Przybrzeżne is used as the name of several settlements, referring to different villages or localities in various regions rather than a single well-defined place.

Because it is a descriptive toponym, places called Przybrzeżne are typically situated in proximity to water—coastlines, lakesides, or riverbanks. The name reflects historical naming practices that described a settlement’s geographic relation to nearby shorelines rather than commemorating a particular event.

Identification of a specific Przybrzeżne requires contextual information such as the administrative district, voivodeship, or geographic coordinates found in gazetteers or official registries. When encountering the name, readers should consult local geographic or administrative sources to determine the exact locality being referred to, as there may be multiple places with the same name.
