Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]
"V" is not German either...the "W" is native here too.
"V" is nearly always the Anglicised version of the old central European "W". Being
adapted to the Anglo speaking USA.
So Viludski has been most probably a Wiludski back home in the old world! ;)
It occurred to me that Polish doesn't retain the V like many other languages, and perhaps that is the Germanization of the name???
