Can someone translate the word "wolnica" (as in Plac Wolnica in Kazimierz) for me? Is it related to the word "wolność"?

Doesn't it refer to a person who is free?

For example, niewolnica can be translated as slave.

Dzisiejsza nazwa Plac Wolnica wywodzi się od łacińskiego Forum liberum (prawo wolnego handlu mięsem poza kramami).

"The current name Plac Wolnica is taken from the Latin Forum liberum (the right to freely trade in meat outside the market stalls)."

So niedżwiedź (bear) is non-dźwiedź.
Nietoperz (bat) is an non-topper with butter. ;-)
