Zgorzała

Zgorzała is a Polish toponym, most commonly referring to a place name, such as a village or a district. The name derives from the Polish word "zgorzeć," meaning "to burn down," "to be charred," or "to burn to ashes." It likely indicates a place that experienced a significant fire or was cleared by burning.

The name could originate from several scenarios:

• A settlement that was destroyed by fire, either accidentally or deliberately (e.g., during a war).
• A forest or wooded area that was cleared by slash-and-burn agriculture.
• A location where a large wildfire occurred.

Therefore, when encountering the name "Zgorzała" in Poland, it is safe to assume that the location's history is in some way related to fire. The specific context would require further historical research.
