| - | ===== Etymology ====== | ||
| Not to be confused with Russian “Остров”, Ostrow derives its name from the Germanic root of the word “[[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=east|east]]”, which developed into “Ost” in German, and “austr” in Old Norse, among others. The ending “-ow” is of Slavic origin and often found in placenames in real-life Pomerania, on which much of Ostrow's architecture is based. | Not to be confused with Russian “Остров”, Ostrow derives its name from the Germanic root of the word “[[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=east|east]]”, which developed into “Ost” in German, and “austr” in Old Norse, among others.
