Genealogy / Swenski. Can any one tell me about the meaning of this name? [11]
As far as I could determine, no-one in Poland uses such spellings as Swenski, Sweński, Swęcki or Swędzki, but the Święcki surname is known. Couild be that the immirgant ancestor or soemone for him respelled Święcki to Swenski. If left intact, Święcki would come ouzt Anglo-mangled into Swicky (rhyming with sticky).
