Czolgosz is a proper noun (surname) of Polish origin, most notably associated with the assassin who killed President McKinley in 1901. It is pronounced with multiple consonant clusters and a bold, somewhat unfamiliar Polish sequence, making correct articulation essential for clear reference. In English usage, it’s typically treated as a non-anglicized loanword and pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable. The name is rarely used outside historical or biographical contexts.
