Stargard
The city's name is of Pomeranian (Kashubian) origin and stands for old (stari) town/city (gard or gôrd).
In this meaning, the term gard is still being used by the only surviving Pomeranian language speakers, the Kashubs. However, some experts say that the name is of proto-Norse origin: starn (star) and gate (as in English).
