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 III of\u00a0Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em>\u00a0lists one place called Czarnost\u00f3w which belongs to the Szwelice parish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazwy Miejscowe Polski<\/em>\u00a0indicates that Czarnost\u00f3w was two villages in the Karniewo Gmina, Ciechan\u00f3w Voivodeship in the years 1975-1998 and was located 8 kilometers southwest of Mak\u00f3w Mazowiecki. Mentions of the village include: Czarnostovo<\/em> in about 1240 (forgery); Czarnostowo<\/em> in 1328, Czarnosthowo<\/em> in 1425, Czarnosthow<\/em> in 1477, Czarnostowo<\/em> in 1582, Czarnostow<\/em> in 1783, Czarnostowo<\/em> in 1827, Czarnostowo<\/em> in 1880, Czarnost\u00f3w, Czarnost\u00f3w-Polesie<\/em> in 1952, and Czarnost\u00f3w, Czarnost\u00f3w-Polesie, -towa -sia, czarnostowski<\/em>, poleski in 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Czarnost\u00f3w is from the name of a settlement *Czarnost<\/em>, with the suffix -owo<\/em>, later -\u00f3w<\/em>. For the name of the settlement, compare names of the type Ciechost<\/em>, Jarost. In the 20th century there are two villages: Czarnost\u00f3w<\/em> and Czarnost\u00f3w-Polesie<\/em>; the second part of Czarnost\u00f3w-Polesie<\/em> comes from the word polesie<\/em>, meaning ‘place near the forest’.<\/p>\n\n\n
