It is thought to be derived from the German word "Bau," meaning "building" or "construction," and the suffix "-kol," which may have been a locative or occupational identifier.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the BAUKOL name can be found in the Silesian village of Baukau, which was first mentioned in historical documents in 1524.
