Etymology
Kosciusko is the English form of the Polish name Kościuszko, the last name of Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish hero who also fought for American independence. A helpful way to remember the name is to notice the Polish part kość, which means 'bone', and to think of places called Kosciusko as being named to honor this famous man.
