THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME?

So could someone tell me the meaning of, or anything about the name Bucia? Is it very common in Poland today?

Hahaha well that was a cool video lol.

Thanx

Can anyone tell me anything about the surname Święch? Thanks.

Bucia: from but, buta, bucić się (pysznić się) meaning pride, arrogance, to boast (about). Currently, only 31 Bucias live in Poland: 5 in Gdańsk, 4 in Kraków. 2 Bucias live in Germany.

Święch: first recorded in 1375, from Slavic first names Świętobor, Świętosław. Currently, 2293 Święchs live in Poland, mostly in Lesser Poland (203 in Myślenice, 157 in Brzesko, 138 in Kraków).

Thanks Astoria, but sadly one less Święch now :(

Thanks Astoria, My maternal grandparents were Bucias and immigrated to the US around 1905. My mother always said that they came from outside the Krakow area. Someday I would love to do more research on an exact location. Pete

Any thoughts on the surname of Palka?

Anything about the last names Secio, Pamula or Hujar ( Hajar) ? Are they polish, yes or no?
Thank you

Palka: from the root pal: from pal (stake, pale), palec (finger), palić (burn), pałać (desire) or palik (little stake, pale). 3381 people in Poland named Palka.

If similar Pałka: first recorded in 1433, from the same root word as Palka or pałka which means "truncheon", "baton". 11394 people in Poland named Pałka, mostly from Lesser Poland.


Secio: not Polish, sounds Italian.

Pamula: Polish, only 2 people in Poland use this name, no meaning in this spelling.
If spelled Pamuła: "prune soup" or "servant" in old Polish. 1955 Pamułas live in Poland, mostly in and around Kraków.

Hujar: Polish, from hojdać, hujtać in old Polish meaning "to swing", "sway", "rock (to sleep)." 14 people in Poland named Hujar.

Any information about Dzialecki? thanks for everything.

Dzialecki: from the verb działać: "to do", "to make", "to create." Currently, no Dzialecki or Dzialecka live in Poland. 34 Polish males are called Działecki and 41 Polish females are called Działecka. 47 of them live in Pabianice.

Kuberski

chmielewski

Kuberski: first recorded in 1626, from the village Kubra, £omża County, Podlaskie Voivodeship. Kubra first recorded in 1497, has no meaning in Polish as it is of Baltic origin (Old Prussian or Yotvingian). 917 Kuberskis and 914 Kuberskas (females) live in Poland. Surprisingly, none of them live in southeastern Poland as this map shows: You have a Polish name with Old Baltic roots.

Chmielewski: root word chmiel or "hops", first recorded in 1415, from one of many localities called Chmielów or "Hopsville." Popular: 16646 Chmielewskis and 17780 Chmielewskas live in Poland.

Paderewski.

I am uncertain but the spelling may have been changed from Dadareski, or whoever did the 1940 census has bad handwriting.

Paderewski: first recorded in 1580, toponimic from the village Paderew in Masovian Voivodeship. Paderew from German Pader or Bader meaning "barber" who also specialized in simple medical procedures such as bloodletting. Currently, 202 Paderewskis and 211 Paderewskas live in Poland, most just north and west of the ancestral village. A typical Paderewski:
