Lewandowski
Lewandowski (Polish pronunciation: [lɛvanˈdɔfskʲi]; feminine Lewandowska, plural Lewandowscy) is a Polish-language surname. It other languages it may be transliterated as Lewandowsky, Levandovski, Levandovsky, Levandovskyy, Levandoski or Levandovskiy.
It is the seventh most common surname in Poland (93,404 people in 2009).[1]
It is derived from the place name Lewandów, itself derived from the Old Polish word lewanda – 'lavender' (lawenda in modern Polish).[2] It is most frequent in mid-northern Poland, making up as much as 1,1% of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship's population (the record of Poland). The surname was recorded for the first time in 1673, although Lavendowski, which is probably its variant, is known since 1608.
