Katowice (the capital and largest city of Silesian Voivodeship, Poland)
eş: K-ce, Kątowice, Stalinogród
köken: Uncertain. There are two theories regarding the first element; most likely, from the nickname kat (“executioner, hangman”), used to describe the first settler. Alternatively, from kąt (“angle”). Hence, either kat + -owice or kąt + -owice.
