Subject: Etymology<br><br>Since yesterday I have been thinking </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">about a surname in this connection too, Luc.

<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Is this name "Polish Polish" or is it Kashubian or Slovincian? Does anyone know?</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
