Re: 3 names
in reply to a message by Eric
Giddings, English. There are places called Gidding and Gedding in England. They bear the names of the Saxon clans who settled there, e.g., Gidda's clan.
Tomalin, English, a double diminutive of Thomas, Tom-el-in.
Murawski, Polish. It looks like it means someone from Moravia, a region of the modern Czech Republic. Otherwise there could be a Polish place-name like Muraw or Murawa, the original home of the Murawskis (two guesses).
