wysokie

Wysokie is a Polish toponym used for several villages and settlements across Poland. The name derives from the Polish adjective wysoki, meaning high, tall, or elevated, and typically indicates a place situated on higher ground or notable in elevation relative to its surroundings. In Polish geography, Wysokie is one of many recurrent place names formed from height-related descriptors.

There are multiple localities named Wysokie scattered throughout the country, with instances in various voivodeships in central, eastern, and southern Poland. Because it is a common descriptive name, Wysokie often appears as a small village or hamlet within a larger administrative district, rather than as a large town. The name may be found in historical documents and old maps, and some settlements bearing the name have their own local histories and parish affiliations.

In toponymy, Wysokie is related to other height-based names such as Wysoka and Wysoki, which share the same root and reflect similar geographical cues. The word also appears in compound forms in various place names, occasionally combined with additional descriptor elements to distinguish between different Wysokies.
