Your calling Omel a prefix threw me off, becasue there is no such prefix in Polish. (Typical prefixes are za, u, od, przy, nad,. na. w, etc.) However upon closer inspection I have found the Omel and Omelan do exist in Polish as variant forms of the first name Emilian, derived from the Latin Aemilianus. In fact, it is quite a prolific root generating such spin-offs as Omelańczyk, Omelańczak, Omelańczuk, Omelanowski and otehrs.
