Steve28 28 Oct 2007 / #1Hi! May I know if 'Plawsky' is a Polish surname. If not, could you please guide me to the right place to get the answer? Thanks for any help :)
z_darius 14 | 3,968 28 Oct 2007 / #2Just by the sound of the name it would be hard to say. It does sound Slavonic.It may be Polish, Russian, Jewish, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Slovak, Czech (among others)
OP Steve28 28 Oct 2007 / #3Thank you z_dariusStill I would come back here later to see if anyone has more information
z_darius 14 | 3,968 28 Oct 2007 / #4One suggestion: when researching this last name use a more likely version - Plawski
MareGaea 29 | 2,752 19 Feb 2008 / #7'Plawsky'As far as I understood it, it is a Germanized version of a Polish surname: according to some articles I read the Germans tend to change the last "i" in Polish surnames to a "y" for some reason; maybe they found this easier to pronounce, don't know - you never do with Germans anyway :)M-G
zaleski - | 10 29 Feb 2008 / #9'Sky' is never Polish. When you see a surname that ends in 'sky', it indicates a slavic name that was converted from cyrillic to latin text. The name, I would guess is most likely of Ukrainian or White Russian origin.
