Buczyna (root-word buk = beech) is the Polish word for a grove of beech trees or beechwood timber. There are seveal localities in Poland called Buczyna and probably some in the Lwów (Lviv) area as well which well could have generated the Buczyński toponymic nickname to indicate a local inhabitant.

I don't know how much this helps, but my family came from a small coal mining town near Johnstown PA called Ehrenfeld. On their street was a family called Buchinski, probably the Americanized version of your name. One of their sons Charlie Buchinski moved away, changed his name to Charles Bronson and became a movie superstar!

hepcat: One of their sons Charlie Buchinski moved away, changed his name to Charles Bronson and became a movie superstar! Hi! 1. Do you know whether Charles Bronson was a Muslim? 2. His first language (supposedly not English) 3. Was his mother a Pole, a Lipka Tatar or a Lithuanian? 4. Was she a Roman Catholic or a Muslim? I am just curious...

Charles Bronson's father was a Lithuanian Tartar and a Sunni Muslim. His mother was a Lithuanian and a Roman Catholic. I don't know which, if any, religion Charles practiced. When asked about his ethnicity by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show Charles claimed to be Mongolian.
