Another naming pattern that my great uncle told me for a p olish name: Mother would be called Wieliczkowa childrens name would be polish velitzee so the name originated when the first child went to school, and what is your name asked the teacher, not wieliczko that is your fathers name. So they translated in english Valetskie, valitsky, valetsky, valet, so take your choice! talk about confusing I have uncles and aunts that are sister and brothers with different last names! Kathy
