Charbrowo [xarˈbrɔvɔ] (German: before 1937 Charbrow, after 1937 Degendorf)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wicko, within Lębork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[2] It lies approximately 2 km (1 mi) north-west of Wicko, 18 km (11 mi) north-west of Lębork, and 76 km (47 mi) north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk, in the historical region of Pomerania.
It is a linear settlement.[3]
Etymology
The name of the village is derived from the Old Polish given name Charbry or Chrobry.[3]
History
In 1286, Duke Mestwin II granted the village to the Diocese of Kuyavia.[3] Since 1564, it passed to the Wejher, Krokowski and other noble families.[3] Polish Reformed Church services were held in the village since the 1680s, but the congregation soon became Lutheran.[4]
