Disputed. Per Vasmer, derived from Gothic *𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽𐍃 (*gutans, “Goths”). Eckblom rejects this, and many various etymologists suggest a native Proto-Slavic stem of *gъd- (“wet, damp”) and point to place names such as Gdynia and Gdecz (modern Giecz) as further reflexes of that stem. Others still suggest a Proto-Baltic stem of *gud-, with Baltic reflexes including Old Prussian gudde (“forest”), gudas (“Belarusian: person speaking a foreign language”) or Lithuanian gudkarklis (“damp pasture”), gudobelė (“hawthorn”). Many etymologists support the Proto-Baltic origin, with an original stem of *Gud- + *-an + *-isk ("place of the forest people").

Unknown. Possible etymologies include:

* from Chorz + -ów, where Chorz is an archaic personal name, possibly a diminutive of Zachariasz;
* from the place name Zversov.
The city developed during the industrialization and was called Königshütte (literally “Royal Ironworks”) by the Prussians. This was translated to Polish as Królewska Huta, but in 1934, the official name was changed to Chorzów, the name of an original village in the area of the city, which was first attested in the 12th century.

Gorzowie (singular vocative)

Attested since 1847, derived from earlier Gorzowa or Gorzowo, which has the same meaning and is attested at least since 17th century. The two most probable etymologies are:
* gorzeć (“archaic: to burn, to be on fire”) + -ów. Currently the verb is more often spelled goreć.
* gorzeć (“obsolete: to distill”) + -ów. Remnants of this meaning are present in the words gorzelnia and gorzałka, which are still in use.
Before World War II, this was the official name of Gorzów Śląski, a town known in German as Landsberg. After the war, the name was changed to disambiguate it from Gorzów Wielkopolski, a different town also called Landsberg in the Recovered Territories, which had no commonly used Polish name and was renamed by analogy.
