The Dictionary of Polish Place Names (Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em>) explains the origin of place names in Poland and details how the place name changed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volume VI of Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em> lists one place called \u0141a\u015b, a village currently in the Masovian Voivodeship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em> indicates that \u0141a\u015b was in the Rzewnie Gmina, Ostro\u0142\u0119ka Voivodeship in the years 1975-1998, and is 8.5 kilometers southeast of R\u00f3\u017can. Mentions of the village include Lassy<\/em> in (1414-25)1456, versus Lassy<\/em> in 1426, about Lasche<\/em> in 1427, Lassy<\/em> in (1442)1456, about Lasz<\/em> in 1476, Lasche<\/em> in 1480, Laszy<\/em> in 1511, Lasch<\/em> 1512, village of \u0141asz<\/em> in (1565), Royal Lasz<\/em> in 1582, village of \u0141a\u015b<\/em> in 1617, Las<\/em> in 1783, \u0141a\u015b<\/em> in 1827, \u0141as<\/em> in 1884, \u0141a\u015b<\/em> in 1952, and \u0141a\u015b, -si, \u0141a\u015bki<\/em> in 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name of the village is probably from the name of a settlement \u0141as(z)<\/em>, in the first plural, and secondarily \u0141asz\/\/\u0141as\/\/\u0141a\u015b<\/em> – singularization with mixing of consonant series.<\/p>\n\n\n
