Etymology
Mostly from dialectal Polish stegna (“trail, path”). The name of the village in Pomeranian Voivodeship is a post-World War II re-Polonization of German Steegen, presumably from Proto-West Germanic *stigā (“steep path or road; stairway”), whence German Stiege. It is not clear whether the Polish name is a purely phonetic reanalysis or a reference to stegna.
