Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]
Liszcz. I have been trying to find a meaning for my family name; I have been told that although the name is Polish, there is no meaningful translation of the name. We know that 5 Liszcz's emigrated to the United States between 1899-1912 and the surname goes back to a village in Poland in 1542 as far as we have found and our particular family from Galicia. But I am told there are roughly 150 Liszcz's in Poland so it is still a rare name. The only other name I have found that comes close is Leszczynski and that is an old name of a noble family.
