In Poland many toponyms, in particular oronyms (names of mountains) is of volochian origin. One of the most frequent ethymologic roots in Poland is the name of sycamore three (Acer pseudoplatanus L.), namely derivatives of Polish “jawor”. Following prof. Janusz Rieger and his studies on Polish valachisms we try to question the common view that the oronym “Jawornica” near Andrychów comes from the name of the sycamore, instead trying to support the opinion that it may come from “Jafornycia” which is a derivate of Valachian “Jafar”/”Jafer” meaning the green, leafy stems of a popular forest shrublet of eatable berries (the blueberry). We support this view i.a. by comparing it to the ethymology of another oronym – “Leskowiec”, of a better documented history.
