Etymology
The name Carmerau was derived from the name Carmer. In Topographisches Handbuch von Oberschlesien, published in 1865, Felix Triest noted the village's Polish name as Sporók.Following the Second World War, the Polish name Sporok was introduced by the Commission for the Determination of Place Names. However, the name was not adopted by the local population, who instead called the village Spórok. As Gmina Kolonowskie gained the bilingual status on 14 November 2008, the government introduced an additional German name for the village: Carmerau.
