I knew your grandpa John Shebilla. He was my mom's brother. Are you a bland child?
Your name is not Polish, unless it's modified. Maybe Przybyła?

PRZYBY£A: A small group of Polish surnames have been formed from the past tense of different verbs, and this is one of them. Literally it means 'she has arrived'. For some reason most are in the feminine, although Przybył (masculine) and Przybyło (neuter) are also ecnoutnered. This particular name would have typically been a nickname given to a newcomer to a given village.
