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 XI of\u00a0Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em>\u00a0lists one place called Rostki-Stru\u017cne. This entry is for a village currently in the Masovian Voivodeship and which belongs to the Szelk\u00f3w parish. Today, the village of Rostki-Stru\u017cne is known simply as Rostki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em>\u00a0indicates that Rostki-Stru\u017cne was in the Szelk\u00f3w Gmina, Ostro\u0142\u0119ka Voivodeship in the years 1975-1998. Mentions of the village include “Dux gave Derslao and Mroczko of Rosthky 10 manses around the stream called Czirvonca with both banks\u2026 near the bishop’s boundaries and next to their inherited land called Rosthky in the Rzwen forest” in (1414\u201325), Rosthky in 1425, Rosthky in 1468, Rostky in 1522, with Rostki in (1565), Rosthki Struzne in 1582, Rostki Struzne in 1783\u201384, Rostki stru\u017cne in 1827, Rostki Str\u00f3\u017cne in 1888, Rostki Stru\u017cne, -tek -nych, rostkowski in 1971, Rostki Stru\u017cne, -tek -nych in 1982, after the name change Rostki, -tek, rostkowski in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Rostki<\/em> is a repetition of the name Rostki (a village 8.5 kilometers northwest of Nasielsk) from where the recipients of the grant originated. From the 16th century, Rostki Stru\u017cne; the distinguishing element probably comes from str\u00f3\u017cny “an old grain tax, later a monetary tax, for the maintenance of the castle guard’.<\/p>\n\n\n
