Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

Merged: Meanings of a few names in the family tree

Hello,
I have had great success with very precise and timely responses from especially Boletus and Polonius3. Thank you!

I have come across some more Polish and/or Belarusian names in my family tree and I am curious about their meanings.
The names are:
Kastucevicz, Grzegorzewski, Misavich, Orlik, and Orzab.

Any information you may have on these names would be a great help and very much appreciated!!

Dzięki,
Jeff

Thank you for your quick response back. I have recently found my ancestor's petition for naturalization upon arrival in US in 1912. On this document his name is listed both as Bugaczawicz and Bahazewicz. Does this name: BAHAZEWICZ mean anything to you? I'm very curious now at what his actual last name was. Perhaps this is a missing piece to the puzzle. Thanks for your help.

Do you have any ideas about the origins of the last name: Bugaczawicz? I know that the "wicz" ending probably means 'son of'. What I am most curious about is the beginning part. My 2nd Great-Grandparents came from Bielsk, Poland to the U.S. in 1912. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!
