Gąsienica is a Polish-language surname common among the Goral population of Zakopane region literally meaning "caterpillar".[1][2]
The commonality of this surname is reflected in the following question-answer joke: "Why does cabbage not grow in Zakopane? – Because there are too many Caterpillars!" For the same reason Gorals use double-barrelled names, for better identification.[3]
