Etymology

The name Paąžuolė comes from the word Lithuanian: ąžuolas ('oak tree') and means 'a place under/by oaks'. The village is mentioned as Polish: Poddębie, Poddębe, Russian: Поддембе in the earlier sources (with the same meaning, i. e. Polish: dęby, dębno 'oaks, oak grove'), so it isn't clear Lithuanian or Slavic name is earlier.
