BASIŃSKI: topo nick from Basinów or Basie (Babsville); less likely but not impossible metronymic nick from Basia (short for Barbara); Józek Basiński would mean Babs’ (bastard?) son Joe.

¦LIWOWSKI: root-word ¶liwa (plum); topo nick from ¦liwow (Plumton); Slibowski probably came about through a mistransliteration of the Cyrillic where the Polish „w” sound is rendered by the letter „в”.

WI¦NIEWSKI: root-word wi¶nia (cherry); topo nick from Wi¶niewo (Cherryville)

URBAŃSKI: root-word Urban (man’s first name); either topo nick from Urbany or patronymic nick = Urban’s son
