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

SOBIERALSKI: Most likely derived from Polish first names Sobiesław or Sobiestian (archaic dialectal form of Sebastian). It is definitely Polish

I was under the impression that Sobieralski was the Americanized/Evolved version of Sobieski from the research that I had conducted. Hmmm.... interesting. According to some research that I had conducted I also came up with this:

Interesting that Sobieslaw comes up in this research. There may be something to the Americanization/Evolution after all.
