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

My family changed our name when we got here in America. I'm told it used to be Coveleski, but they changed it to Kovalewski to make it look cooler.

Wow just looked it up, Local Coveleski who was a baseball player, there is a wiki page on him. I did some quick geneology on ancestry.com. I just found this forum and will be trying to lean the language. Thanks guys
