Actually there were four lines of noble Lewnadowskis, each entitled to use a different coat of arms. One of them called Dołęga has got have arrows on it. The crowned knight's helmet is a typical emblem found in teh crest (upper section) of most Polish coats of arms.

I have visted Gdansk once. It is very beautiful! My family is not from that area. Maybe they could have been going years back, but I am not sure.

Lewandowski comes from the old polish word for Lavender, which was Lewanda, in modern polish, Lawenda. The location of the names origin is thought to have started in a town once known as "lewandow" which was in the Warszawa voivodeship.
