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

I am trying to find the meaning of my last name of Gruzwalski or possibly Gruzvalski, I know that it translates into Both Serbian and Yiddish but I cannot find any thing on the meaning.

Hmm Gruzwalski is the only spelling I have even my great-grandfather immigration papers, from 1918, has it as Gruzwalski, but not sure if it was shorten once he reached the States. He immigrated from Russia but I am told my family came from the area north of Warsaw. I am also looking for meaning of Karasiewiecz.

I would assume it could be Gwadziński as the Gwadzińska is listed as my great-great-grandmothers surname.

There is possible that there could have been a misspelling, but the document I have with the name was written in the lifetime of my great-great-grandmother's life.

It is an entry in a state marriage record book in the USA, it is hand written in about April 1920, and it is clearly written as gwadzinska. however as it is not the actually license, there could have been a misspelling in the written the name in the record.
