[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Polonized German Names

[Annegret Krause]

Hello,

in my family I have ZIELINSKI being a polonisation of GRUENING. "Zielony" is
the Polish word for the colour "green".

Regards, Annegret

Dear fellow searchers,

has anybody come across the names

KOPRAWICZ (Kopr old Polish word for copper) being a polonisation of 
RODE or ROTH;

GROCHOWSKI or GROCHULSKI (Groch - Erbse) being a polonisation of 
ERBER;

and

ZIELINSKY or MALACHOWSKI being a polonisation of GROEN(S) or GREN(S) 
or KRAHN(S) or (K)GREIN(S) (which have the first name Quirin as root) 
?


Mit schönen Grüßen und den besten Wünschen für das neue Jahr,
