A gift of Polish heritage for a loved one?
Have you ever wondered what your parents' or grandparents' Polish surnames mean and how they came into being? Or whether a coat of arms goes with any of their names? A custom-researched surname analysis providing all the answers will make an interesting and unusual gift for a loved one (or yourself).
A large group of Polish last names were derived from place- names: WIŚNIEWSKI was “the guy from Wiśniewo (Cherryville)” and KAMIŃSKI came from Kamień (Rockville). NOWAK was “the new guy in town” and KOWALSKI was the blacksmith’s son or helper. Other surnames reflected various foods such as KIEŁBASA (sausage), KAPUSTA (cabbage/sauerkraut) and ŚLIWKA (plum), tools: ŚWIDER (drill) and MOTYKA (hoe) and animals KACZOR (drake), LIS (fox) and SOWA (owl).
