szczelno

Szczelno is a Polish toponym used for several small localities in Poland. The name functions as a placename rather than a single, widely known town, and its specific meaning or significance can vary by location.

Etymology and origins of the name Szczelno are not definitively established. The form is typically linked to Polish linguistic roots and is commonly associated with the adjective szczelny, meaning tight or sealed, or with other historical geographic terms. Because place names often reflect local linguistic traditions or landscape features, the exact origin of each Szczelno may differ from one locality to another.

Geography and administration: Places named Szczelno are generally rural settlements situated within Poland’s administrative framework. They belong to local gminas (municipalities), which are part of larger counties (powiats) and voivodeships. As with many small villages, the economic profile is often centred on agriculture, small-scale services, and commuting to nearby towns.

Usage and disambiguation: Since Szczelno refers to more than one locality, precise identification requires additional context such as the voivodeship, county, or nearby towns. In formal or cartographic references, Szczelno is typically accompanied by the relevant administrative units to avoid confusion with other places sharing the same name.

Notability: Szczelno does not correspond to a single nationally prominent location. Information about each Szczelno is typically found in local administrative records, regional gazetteers, or geographic databases that list villages within specific gminas and counties.
