Do Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure?. [88]
Cant say Ive met many Snobbish Americans.
Though the ones I have met like that are world class at it :)
that's what I meant....
Tourists seem obbsessed with our "Nobility"
yeh esp. Americans innit?
It's an interesting thread though. I remember for instance a girl here in UK called 'Balinska' and she did go on about about how her dad had been a 'Count' in Poland.
When you meet very 'normal' people called, say, Seymour or Howard, you wonder who their ancestors were....
not that it's really very important, just interesting.
It must be borne in mind that those who claim to be descended from nobility or whatever don't really have anything to be proud of, just that they had an ancestor who was the King's bumboy.(or something)
