Genealogy / Mackowiak surname, Maćkowiak [17]

Maćkowiak

Hey, I'm Polish and my surname is Maćkowiak. There's a first name Maciej, as some nickname can be Maciek or in old times Maćko. So probably that's the origin of Maćkowiak. Another thing is that the ending -iak is very typical of my region, which is Wielkopolska (Great Poland) probably your family is from here.
