Genealogy / POLISH NOBILITY NAMES IN -SKIi [82]

Boletus: Thank you very much for your answer! It was very interesting to read and very helpful for further research on that topic.
I had speculated that maybe the family comes from Hanow in Eastern Poland, near the border to Belarus and Ukrania - where, by the way, the name would be spelt with an "-sky" at the end. - Do you think that is possible?

Merged: Hannowsky - meaning of the name, nobility?, genealogy

Hallo,

my name ist Dirk Hannowsky. My family comes from Forst / Guben (Lausitz), where the "oldest" Hannowsky I know of was born in 1704.
I am curious to find relatives and older ancestors.
I also wonder, what my name means and wether our familiy might be noble. I found hints to that on: familienkunde.at/Adel_Polen_Namensindex_H.htm

However, our name might have been spelt differently then, e.g. Hanowski (von Hanow).

Does anybody know more? - Thank you very much in advance!
