• Notes

  The ending -ewski on Wis~niewski tells us this is a name indicating place of origin -- in this case, from any of a jillion villages named Wis~niewo or Wis~niew, all taking their names from the root wisznia, "cherry-tree." When a surname comes from a place name this common, you'd expect the surname to be common also, and Wisniewski is: as of 1990 there were 104,418 Polish citizens by that name, living in huge numbers all over the country
