Beste Ron,

Since yesterday I have been thinking about a surname in this connection too,
Luc. But I've been thinking about Szubiak which is pronounced like Low Saxon
*Schubjack* ([Àà É äbjak]).

Is this name "Polish Polish" or is it Kashubian or Slovincian? Does anyone
know?


Geographical distribution of Szubiak:

I have a feeling that different words may have collided. Is Szubiak related
to Sawczak? Sawczak seems to be more popular (more evenly distributed), so
maybe Szubiak is a regional variant? Szubiak also exists in Slovakian, and
even some people in Hungary have this surname. Could Szubiak be a
germanisation of Sawczak?

Unfortunately, my Slavic knowledge is virtually zero.

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx
