 The name originated in Leżajsk County of the Subcarpathian Voivodship, (specifically, the village of Grodzisko Górne).Historically, the village of Grodzisko Górne was located in the Ruthenian Voivodeship of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, where Ukrainian was spoken in addition to Polish, which influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the name to reflect the Ukrainian use of the letter 'H' (Г) in place of the letter "G".Its first recorded use was in the late 17th Century.
