The name Danzig was changed to Gdańsk after World War II when the borders of Poland were redrawn, and the city became part of Poland. The Polish name Gdańsk reflects its Slavic heritage and historical roots. The change was part of a broader effort to re-establish Polish identity in territories that had been under German control.
