Bereżnica

Bereżnica is a Polish and Ukrainian toponym, referring to several villages and geographical locations. The name likely derives from "brzeg" (Polish and cognates in other Slavic languages), meaning "shore" or "bank," referring to a location near a river or body of water.

Specific locations called Bereżnica include:

• A village in Poland, likely within the Podkarpackie Voivodeship (though precise location needs verification).
• A village in Ukraine, typically within western Ukraine, often within Lviv Oblast, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, or Ternopil Oblast. These villages often have distinct suffixes or clarifying attributes to differentiate them (e.g., Bereżnica Szlachecka, Bereżnica Wyżna).
• Potentially, smaller settlements or former settlements that no longer exist or have changed names, but were historically known as Bereżnica. Genealogical research or historical maps would be needed to verify these.

Due to the common nature of the name, it is crucial to specify which Bereżnica is being referenced when discussing the location. Additional information, such as the administrative region (voivodeship/oblast), historical context (e.g., pre-war Poland), or nearby landmarks, is often necessary for clarity.
