Etymology
There are numerous speculations surrounding the name "Brzeźno".[1] According to one, the word "Brzeźno" was the name of a lake, with the possessive suffix -no, added to brzoza (birch). Thus, the name of the lake derives from birch trees surrounding its waters. The lake was located by the settlement named Prusęcino (deriving from the Old Prussians that lived there). It is believed that Prusęcino changed its name to Bresno (first noted in 1323). Due to the double-meaning of the name Bresno, the name of the lake was changed to Zaspa. The other hypothesis for the naming of the settlement derives from the word brzeg (Polish: coast), in regards to the coastal location of Brzeźno.[2]
