The name was unofficially used afterward for denoting the territory, especially by Poles, and today is used by modern historians to refer to different political entities until 1918.
Nime kasutati territooriumi tähistamiseks mitteametlikult ka hiljem, eriti poolakate poolt, ja tänapäeval kasutatakse ajaloolaste poolt erinevatele poliitilistele üksustele viitamisel aastani 1918.
