THE MEANING OF YOUR POLISH LAST NAME?

Jarmicki? or jarmick?

Meaning of Jewula, Cebula, Gawlik? I was lead to believe that the ULA ending meant "little" or "small"

It probably originally was Świątek whose root is świąt~święt and has generated such words as święto (holiday, feastday), święty (saint, holy), święcić (to bless, consecrate, sanctify).
The -ula ending is a diminutive that expresses pity. For instance biedula means poor, sorry, little thing and contains a note of feeling sorry and expressing sympathy for the person thus named. Cebula is onion and Gawlik is a diminutvie of Gaweł (Gaul, Gall).

Does any one know the name Brzeszkiewicz? I want to find the origins of this name. I do know that my great , great great grandmother was a Hapsburg. She was disowned because she married a Russian soldier. Any one have any info?

You should firstly look in some big dictionary like
www_websters-online-dictionary_com/translation/kowal
but insted of 'kowal' put your surname without ending, and instead of '_' put dot. For example for 'kowalski' or 'kowalczyk' put 'kowal', and you will see it means 'blacksmith', so longer form will mean 'of blacksmith'. Easy, and this not commercial dictionary, will automatically search databases of every language, not only Polish, so U may see answer quickly.

Kimpiński does exist in Poland but is extremely rare. It looks to be a spelling variant of Kępiński. For more information please contact: research60@gmail.com

hi.. anyone know anything about Dejewski or Rafinski?

I am researching two of my ancestors...

Brodowicz and Kaminski. Can you tell me anything about either of these names?

"Brodowicz" has two meanings:
Broda - berad/chin
Bród - ford

+owicz - this suffix means (in the past) "son of".


"Kamiński"
Kamień - stone

+ski - this suffix was used by nobleman. In XIX century some people changed their suffix to -ski.

Anyone know what the surname "Zajdel" may mean? Thanks.

Sosnoski?

my last name is english/scottish

Betlej

What about the last name: Pashkovskiy

do you mean Paszkowski ?

Yes. But right now my cousin has it spelled Pashkovskiy but that is probably because of the Nazis destroying documents so people don't know their birth date, etc. And yes, please use the Polish version of the last name if possible.

Can anybody answer my question?

My surname is Ziemann can anyone tell me the meaning
