Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

[Moved from]: Lichota

Hi,
Trying to find information on the surname Lichota, my friend's grandfather Louis Lichota came from Katy Poland. Found other Lichotas in the Plock Gubernia / Warszawa Province through the Jewish Records Indexing site. Can anyone help more?
