# Jaworzno

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Jaworzno** — Current local name, already written in the Latin alphabet; used directly in English without translation.

Other forms in use:

- **Arnshalde** — German occupation-era proposed name, repeated as an alias in genealogical reference works; sources indicate the planned renaming did not take legal effect. Medium confidence in formal status; do not treat it as an uncontested former official name.
- **Yavarzna** — Yiddish name in Latin transcription, used in Jewish history and genealogy; transcription varies between authors.

## French name

**Jaworzno** — Nom local actuel, déjà écrit en alphabet latin et repris tel quel en français.

Other forms in use:

- **Arnshalde** — Nom proposé pendant l’occupation allemande et repris comme variante dans les répertoires généalogiques ; des sources indiquent que le changement prévu n’est pas entré en vigueur. Certitude moyenne quant au statut formel ; ne pas le présenter comme un ancien nom officiel incontesté.
- **Yavarzna** — Nom yiddish transcrit en caractères latins, employé en histoire juive et en généalogie ; la transcription varie selon les auteurs.

## About

Jaworzno is a city in Silesian Voivodeship, east of Katowice. Coal mining, power generation and industry have played a large part in its development.

## Notes

Arnshalde is attested as a retrieval alias but its formal implementation is disputed; local and German administrative histories describe an unimplemented proposal. Neu-Dachs names the concentration-camp subcamp at Jaworzno, not the city, and is excluded from city-name alternatives.
