siedliska

Siedliska is a toponym used by a number of settlements in Poland. The name derives from siedlisko, a Polish word meaning a dwelling, homestead, or settlement, and historically referred to a place where people lived and worked the land. As a place name, Siedliska typically denotes small rural communities and has been applied to numerous villages across the country.

Across Poland, there are many distinct villages and settlements named Siedliska, spanning multiple voivodeships. Each Siedliska belongs to a particular gmina (municipality) and county, reflecting the administrative structure of Poland. The settlements are generally small and rural in character, often with agricultural origins, and their local governance falls under the jurisdiction of their gmina councils.

Because Siedliska is a common toponym, the name can refer to more than one place. Distinguishing between them requires geographic qualifiers such as the voivodeship or county. Historically, the recurrence of this name reflects the widespread practice of naming places after a homestead or farmstead that served as a local hub.

Today, Siedliska remains a standard village name in Poland, with multiple instances in official registries of territorial land apportionment.
