In explaining Polish last names, let's start with the most common ones most people recognize: names ending in ?ski.? The suffix ?ski? essentially means ?from.? When combined with the prefix of a location, it creates a last name denoting where you are from. Note that the female form of ?ski? is ?ska.?

Wojcik, Wojczik, Wojczyk, Wojszyk (also variants of phonetic spelling: Woicik, Woycik, Woyczik, Woytik, etc.) is one of the oldest Polish surnames, and the fourth most common in Poland (100,064 in 2009). Archaic feminine forms are derived by adding suffixes: -owa for married woman and -owna for maiden name.

Polish names have two main elements: the given name, and the surname. The usage of personal names in Poland is generally governed by civil law, church law, personal taste and family custom. The law requires a given name to indicate the person's gender.
