Kucharski/a

I am trying to find out about my father's family can anyone tell me the meaning of the name Kucharski and where it originated from thank you.Davina

Cook.

thank you jonni that was quick can you tell me any more!

Not much. The profession is 'kucharz' (jestem kucharzem, I'm a cook) and the surname is Kucharski/a. Polonius3 might know more, but as far as I'm aware there are a lot of people in Poland called Kucharski (I know a few) and there probably isn't any specific geographical connection.

Kucharski has already been answered elsewhere.
