The
toponym of the village comes from the
Pechenegs, a semi-nomadic
Turkic people who settled in the area during the time of the
Piast dynasty. The Pechenegs in this area may have come as military settlers or may have simply been herders. They also lent their name to
Pieczonogi, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship and Pieczonóg-Gacki, a village near
Szydłów. ==References==
