wtków

Wtków is the name of several villages in Poland. The toponym is formed from the given name Witek (a diminutive of Wit) and the suffix -ków, a common element in Polish place names indicating belonging or association. As a result, multiple settlements across different regions share the same name.

Each Wtków is a rural locality that forms part of a gmina (municipality) in a given powiat (county) and voivodeship (province). The precise location and administrative alignment vary by village.

Historically, the name appears in medieval to early modern records as part of landholding and settlement naming patterns. The recurrence of Wtków mirrors the broader Polish practice of using personal names to form village names.

Demographically, Wtków villages are typically small, with populations that are modest and largely engaged in agriculture or local services. They often feature features typical of rural Polish settlements, such as a parish church, a local shop, and a communal gathering place, though specifics depend on the individual village.

Due to the existence of several places with this name, precise information about a single Wtków requires specifying its voivodeship, county, and gmina.
