Lewandowski
Lewandowski (Polish pronunciation: [lɛvanˈdɔfskʲi]; feminine Lewandowska) is a Polish-language surname. In other languages it may be transliterated as Lewandowsky, Levandovski, Levandovsky, Levandoski, etc.
In 2009 it was the seventh most common surname in Poland (93,404 people in 2009).[1]
It is unlikely to be derived from the place name "Lewandów", because the surname was registered much earlier than the settlement was founded.[2] It is associated with the name of the plant lavender. An early record of the surname is dated by 1908.[3]
