Abstract: The article is a case study of Jana Kochanowskiego Street in Warsaw. The starting point is the statement on the late naming of the street with the name of the most important Polish pre-romantic poet in the capital city of Poland (in comparison to naming streets after minor poets). The author presents the circumstances that led to this situation and recreates the contexts accompanying the belated inclusion of Jan Kochanowski in the canon of writers who were preferred eponyms of streets in the capital of Poland after WWI. Next, he tries to compare Kochanowskiego Street in Warsaw with Kochanowskiego Streets in other large cities of Poland.

Key words: street names, public space, Jan Kochanowski, street eponyms, interwar period, Warsaw, cultural heritage of the Partitions period
