The Polish name of the village is derived from the word koà Âà(pl. bone) and mà Âócià(pl. to thresh). The German name Kostenblut is the phonological adaptation of the earlier Slavic form. The existence of the phonologically similar German words kosten (to cost) and Blut (blood) played a role in adapting this name.
One of the first mentions of the village comes from a document from the year 1203, published by Cyprian, Bishop of Wrocà Âaw, in which it is mentioned in the Old Polish, Latinized form Costomlot.
