pip: could this be a Jewish last name? A few years I was searching for a friend whose mother had a similar name. Waiting for the Polish name experts...... not that it matters but the reason I ask- have you checked jewishgen.org?
Gładyś (or Gładysz - they are too distinct surnames but of the same origin) is a name of Slavic origin (gładysz was a handsome guy in Old Polish perhaps a woman too but don't know it for sure) - it's not possible to say if the name was not adopted by some Jewish people in Poland
