In Lithuanian source literature, names with the var- component<br>are connected with hydrographic elements.<br>The author directs attention to a borderland nature of the analyzed region. The<br>Sokółka district is located in the central part of Podlaskie Voivodeship, next to the<br>Belarusian border. Since time immemorial, it has been a place where Baltic and Slavonic<br>peoples came into contact with Eastern and Western Slavs. Ethnically and linguistically<br>diversified settlement processes concerning the discussed region are reflected in place<br>names. Not only Polish place names, but also those of East Slavic and Baltic origins<br>can be found there.</p> ER -
