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

Hello PF,

I am looking for the meaning of the surname Rzyszczewski. The only thing related I found on the internet is a Polish village named Rzyszczewo which was previously called Ristow.

Also, is the surname Woronowski considered more Russian in origin but with a Polish spelling?

Thanks for any help.

Thank you boletus!

That was really helpful and kind of you to post all that information. I don't think I could have found all that out on my own.
