Ciak, heard of it??????

We have a family name of Ciak and I was wondering its meaning and what part of Poland it is more popular in. Thanks for any help in advance.

CIAK - from ciakać (dialectic for ciachać) to strike, hit, jab, stab Ancestral nest in the Tarnobrzeg area of former Galicja (pre-1918 Austrian occupation zone).

Many thanks. Make sense. My great grandfather had had Austrian papers when he came over, but we were always considered Polish. Unfortunately, he did not allow Polish to be spoken in the house. Had to be American. Do you know what food is characteristic there?

That was one of the poorest sections of Poland. Peasants mostly ate hearty soups and something (groats, potatoes, noodles, dumplings, root veggies, etc.) drizzled with pan drippings or oil. Chicken soup, meat, pierogi, gołąbki et al were mainly reserved for Sunday dinner or holidays.
