rejonowe

Rejonowe is the inflected form of the Polish adjective rejonowy, meaning related to a region or district. The base noun rejon denotes a geographic or administrative area, and the adjective rejonowy is used to indicate that something belongs to or concerns a particular district, city sector, or region. The form rejonowe is used with feminine and neuter nouns in certain grammatical contexts, and more broadly appears in official terms describing jurisdiction or locality.

In Polish administrative and legal language, rejonowy is common in compound names that designate authority or institutions within a specific district. Notable examples include sęd rejonowy, commonly rendered as district court, and prokuratura rejonowa, the district prosecutor’s office. In these phrases, the adjective signals that the institution operates within a particular rejon and handles matters for that jurisdiction. The form rejonowe also appears in descriptive names for local entities, such as regional or local media or government units, often translated in English as “district” or “local/regional.”

The concept of a rejon is central to Polish administrative geography, distinguishing between district-level and higher levels of organization such as okręg (circuit) and województwo (voivodeship). The term rejonowe does not designate a separate entity itself but serves as a linguistic marker used across various official names to denote locality or jurisdiction.
