Rudnik (Polish pronunciation: [ˈrudɲik]) is a village in Gmina Hażlach, Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.[1]
The name of the village is derived from a name of a local stream Rudnik, mentioned as early as 1442 (do potoka jmenem Rudnika), which is a transformation of a word rudy, meaning rdzawy (rusty).[2]
