LORKOWSKI – toponymic nick from Lorki (Lawrenceville); some 700 users
DZIURDA - toponymic nick from Dziurdziów (Georgetown)
SOBIANEK - toponymic nick from Sobianowice (Selfsonville); possibly derived from first name Sobiesław
SZAŁOMSKI - Your Shalom (peace) suggestion is interesting. Since so many different things have happened to Polish surnames over the generations, no option should be ruled out. Conceivably one might envision a Jew in Old Poland seen greeting people with „shalom” which to non-Jews may have seemed strange or exotic. That could have prompted someone to humorously dub him Szałomski (the shalom bloke). A bystander may have overheard the remark, repeated it and soon it caught on as a generally used nickname.
