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

I was wondering if anyone knew the history of the last name Naparsteck? I have also seen it spelled "Naparstek", however my name has the C in it as well. I knowthat it means "thimble" in Polish. So I don't know if that means possibly my ancestor's were tailors, or dressmakers, etc? Or from what I've read in here, maybe it was a peasant name because it's a household object?

Any idea's would be greatly appreciated, I've been searching for a long time on any history and haven't been able to find any!
