Kurowski is shared by more than 15,000 in Poland, the main stronghold being the Mazowsze region. Dunno how many are in other countries, but according to a widely held rule of thumb, about one-fourth of all Poles live abroad. That could mean that roughly some 4,000 additional Kurowskis reside in N.American and around the globe. The name is of toponmyic origin derived from such places as Kurów or Kurowo (Cockton, Roosterville, etc.). The noble Kurowskis stamped their documents with one of 6 different coats of arms inlcuding Lubicz, Nałęcz and Wążyk.
