wysok

Wysok is a toponym used for several villages in Poland. The name derives from the Polish adjective wysoki, meaning high or tall, and is commonly applied to places situated on elevated ground, hilltops, or ridges, or to settlements that were perceived as higher than surrounding areas. Because many villages share similar terrain or historical naming practices, the exact meaning can vary by location.

Geographically, places named Wysok are small rural settlements and are administratively part of larger municipalities (gminas) within voivodeships. They typically have modest populations and limited infrastructure, reflecting rural Polish settlement patterns.

Historically, the use of the name Wysok reflects broader Slavic naming conventions that describe landscape features or landform characteristics, and it may appear alongside similar names such as Wysoka or Wysokie in neighboring regions.

Outside Poland, similar toponyms may occur among Slavic-speaking communities, sometimes with slightly different spellings, but Wysok is primarily associated with Polish nomenclature.

Because Wysok is not a single, widely known place, encyclopedia entries about it are usually disambiguated by context (voivodeship or municipality).
