Notes:
Woz~nicki is pronounced roughly "vozh-NEET-skee." It comes from the same basic root as Wozniak -- woz-, "convey, transport (especially by cart)." But generally would refer to the name of a place where the family lived at some point centuries ago. Thus we'd expect it to mean "one from Woz~niki or Woz~nica or Woz~nice." On modern maps I find one Woz~nice and a lot of Woz~niki's, so the surname would generally mean the family came from one of those villages; but without detailed genealogical research into a specific family's background, there's no way to know which one. The places, in turn, would take their names from some connection with carts, cart-drivers (woz~nica is a term meaning "cart-driver," and this name is an adjective that could come from that noun), cart-horses (woz~nik, and the name can also come from that), etc. As I say, there is a linguistic connection with Wozniak in that both come from that basic root meaning, but in practice there wouldn't necessarily be any blood connection between the two names. Woz~nicki is a name in its own right.
