## English name

Other forms in use:

- **Lebork** — Diacritic-free rendering of the Polish name, used where Polish letters are unavailable; not the official spelling.
- **Lauenburg in Pommern** — Historical German name, used in English accounts of the town before 1945 and in historical or family records; not the current official name.
- **Lauenburg** — Short German historical name, ambiguous without the Pomeranian context.
- **Lauenburg i. Pom.** — Abbreviated historical German locator used in maps and archival records.

## French name

**Lębork** — Same current Polish spelling as in English; no separate French exonym is selected.

Other forms in use:

- **Lebork** — Accent-stripped form also encountered in French indexes and travel searches; the Polish spelling is preferred in edited French.
- **Lauenburg in Pommern** — German historical name retained in French writing about the former German town and in references to German sources.
- **Lauenbourg** — French adaptation of the historical German name; the Pomeranian location is needed to distinguish other Lauenburgs.

## About

Lębork is a town on the Łeba in Pomeranian Voivodeship in northern Poland. Its medieval castle and defensive remains reflect its history in the borderlands of Pomerania.
