meaning of Spojanka (one who connects; female - from `spajati` = to connect) name has its meaning in Serbian but, i never in my life heard that somebody of Serbian ethnicity has name or surname Spojanka. Neither did i heard that somebody who consider itself Croatian has such a name

but i guess that you mistaken here. It must be STOJANKA not SPOJANKA. i am definitely sure that it is STOJANKA (one who stand; she stand; female - from `stajati` = to stand). That is archaic Serbian female name. It exist even today but mostly in rural areas (village).

If Polish person with name Spojanka exist and could be positive about its Serbian ancestry, it must be that name Stojanka somehow, with time, in Poland, evolved into Spojanka
