Seeking infomration on my Great Grandfather's last name. Understand that the name used in the US is not recognizable as a Polish last name: Snios but is pronounced Snyosh. He came from Dubowo Russian Poland around 1905.

Śnios exists in Poland, root-word sen (sleep, dream). If you say it was pronounced Snyosh, then it might have originally been Śniosz or (less likely) Śnioś. A kindred surname is Śnioch. They all mean the same: dreamer, day-dreamer, someone with his head in the clouds.
