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.[1]
