From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chościsko (Polish pronunciation: [xɔɕˈtɕiskɔ]) is a legendary figure in a Polish prehistory, father of Piast the Wheelwright, the founder of the Piast dynasty. His name occurs in the first Polish chronicle, Cronicae et gesta ducum sive principumPolonorum[1] by Gallus Anonymus, where the author refers three times to Piast as the son of Chościsko.
Chościsko's name is probably derived from a simplified pronunciation of the word Hastingsko derived from the term Hasding ( meaning long-haired[2]) which was difficult to pronounce in Old Slavonic. The other analysis suggests that Chościsko's name is probably derived from chost or chwost meaning tail in old Slavic.
