In Polish there is a word (adj.) szarmancki used to describe a gallant, sweep-'em-off-their-feet type of charmer from the French charmant. A bit strange for a surname, but with names one never knows.
Only 27 people in Poland use the Szarmański surname, and all live in the recovered territories. That suggests their roots had been east of the River Bug.

** Jarmuła from jarmolić (to make a racket) might have meant a noisy SOB.
**Wójcik (the village mayor’s son) – Poland’s 4th most popular surname with nearly 100,000 users.
**Wolmut, Polish transcription of German Wohlmut (wellbeing).
**Juszyczyzn doesn't seem quite right. Could it have been Juszyczyn or Juszczyszyn?
**Ciężczak is a properly formed patronymic nickname for the son of someone called Ciężki (heavy, overweight or dull of mind).
**M±drzykowski looks to have arisen as a double patronymic nickname. Someone locally known as M±dry (the wise one) sired a son who was called M±dzryk. When he in turn married and fathered a son (out-of-wedlock bastards were not well looked upon back then!), fellow-villagers might have called him M±drzykowski.
**Lelakowski – possibly from lelać się (to swing, rock, sway); someone who walked this way might have been dubbed lelak and his son became lelakowski; or from lelek (goatsucker – a nocturnal bird) or the locality of Lelek.

Moderator comment: It is not good etiquette, in Genealogy, to give the name and address of a living person.

Don't know if you're still searching since you posted in 2008, but my maternal gmother's last name was Czarmanski from Poland. Spelling difference with the "C".
