[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Polonized German Names

[Rose Ingram]

I have found some birth records in my family written Zielinski vel Gruening.

  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) 
  ?
