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

Hey, for years now I was wondering what the true meaning behind my polish surname actually was, I would really appreciate it if you could help me here, seeing as you have done so before for other people many times now.

My surname is Szczucki, that is from my father.
Also it would be awesome if you could find out the meaning behind my mothers maiden-name, Stańczak. :)

Perhaps you may remember me, although it's been a year or so since I last commented here. No offense taken if you don't! :)

So you deciphered the meaning behind my surname, SZCZUCKI (I believe the Northern Pike in plural form), as well as my mothers maiden name STAŃCZAK (son of Stanek).

Now, I ask if you happen to know or can find out what coat of arms are connected to these surnames? Also if there was any sort nobility (or anything else for that matter) attached with them.

It's a pain to find any connections with my surnames whatsoever despite the vastness of the internet these days, it amazes me how you do it.

I hope it's not a pain for you. Thanks :)

Very interesting, I'm guessing it's not uncommon then to have more than one family coat of arms. Thank you again!

I've come back for more!

This time it's my great grandma's maiden name, "Dzido", and my grandma's maiden name "Rębisz".

Cheers, Radek.

This one should be challenging, I have a rough story of it's background but I'd love to hear your definition, DeMucha.

Cheers for the last surnames you did, I really like the meaning behind Dzido!

Perhaps if I provide more context:
The surname itself doesn't appear very Polish which is conflicting but the Mucha portion directly translates to fly if I am correct, however "De" isn't Polish at all.

Origins however go something along the lines of a soldier in Napoleons army resigned to Poland when Napoleon retreats from the east (failed conquest). It doesn't make much sense and I may be entirely wrong, but whatever you can dig up on the origins will be greatly appreciated.
