Genealogy / Does anyone know where the name Ciupa is derived from? [28]

I am searching for my Ciupa ancestry. As the name seems to be quite uncommon, I'd like to compare notes to see if we have a connection

My Ciupas are from the Galicia area and my Grandfather Jan Ciupa is listed as Austrian in some of his documents, Polish in others. His parents were Casmierez (unsure of correct spelling) Ciupa and Elzbieta Sobczyk. Jan came to the US in approx 1913. He married Katarczyna Kowalczyk who was from Niepla, Austria/Poland. Her parents were Bartolemez Kowalczyk and Aniela Fortuna.

Thank you so much for the information. It helps to understand the life of my ancestors who lived there. How would I find a directory of the current residents of Niepla?

I have Ciupa dna matches in Romania, but the language barrier is hampering my communication with him.
Have you taken any dna tests on AncestryDNA, 23&me, or My Heritage?

My grandfather was Jan Ciupa born in Zarnowiec Podapackie Poland ? But he lived in the United States and died around 1962
