Wypnicha [vɨpˈnixa] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Michów, within Lubartów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) west of Lubartów and 31 km (19 mi) north-west of the regional capital Lublin.


Etymology[edit]

Name "Wypnicha" is in gramatical femine gender singular form and means in Polish: village pushed out. There are three possible explanations for this name:

The name of the village is mostly explained by traditional folk etymology as derived from an interesting phenomenon occurring in the marshes, quagmires and peatlands. On the mire surface was created a floating mat of moss and plants. When someone will enter on that area, the floating mat will bow and will create of the recess. Next to the recess surface appears cumuli and the floating mat will have waves - it's because under the surface of the floating mat, is mud and water. This phenomenon is called in the local dialect "Wypychy" (free translation: pushingout the ground, ,in gramatical masculine gender and plural) Such an explanation is most often found in village descriptions[2].

Second explanation emphasizes the geographical location of the village, higher up - above quagmire in the valley of two little streams. In meaning the village pushed up above the swamps and meadows - situated on a hillock. Several villages in Poland that have similar names, takes its names from this position.

However, the most likely explanation is different. The etymology of the names of villages with similar names is linked not to the geographical location of the village but the method of village creation - e.g. Wypychów or many hamlets that contain the word "Wypychy" - especially numerous in Mazovia. Wypychy (gramatical masculine gender and plural) means and represent residents had pushed out beyond the old village, whos in the new - usually not too distant place - had built their homes[3]. Area of the village was specified in the foundation charter, however, the population of village gradually increased and began to have not enough space for houses in a designated area. Then determined the new settlement area - usually not far from existing settlement. New cluster of houses was not formally a separate village, new and old settlement had the same authority and belonged to the same parish. In the period close to the presumed inception of the village Wypnicha in the near Stężyca Land listed is the Wolia Wipnicha - today's Wola Burzecka with the same etymological origin of the original name[4]. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries a new cluster of houses outside the main village often have the name of "push out" - Wypychy. Especially often affected is villages inhabited by poor nobility in Mazovia.

At various times this village was used for the names in the plural form - these Wypnichy ( plural femine gender) and the Wypychy (plural masculine gender). In the sixteenth and seventeenth century the village was recorded as well as Wypnica[5].

The history of the village[edit]

Oldest times[edit]

Historians and regionalists thought that Wypnicha is one of the oldest villages in the Lubartów County. It was thought that people in the countryside lived in the prestate times.[6]. Suggestion indicating early settlement was already non-existent interesting geological formation known as St. Helena's Mount or simply barrow (kurhan in Polish). This has been studied archaeological sites that did not show signs of human activity, but marked the beginning of exploitation of sand, which consisted of St. Helena's Mount [citation needed]. Currently there is no reason to conclude that in the Wypnicha any settlement was established before the second half of the fifteenth century[7][8].
