[Surname] Re: Does ANYONE know the origin of "Palgon?"
Yes, it's Polish. That branch of my family lived in Ostrow Mazowiecka, Poland. The Feldman name was probably administered when they came to America; no relation to Palgon.IMPEACH BUSHWe are now no longer the Knights Who Say "Ni!"

According to a Polish website there were 865 Palgans in Poland in 1998, and only two Palgons. The script was not very clear but it looked like both versions were spelt with that peculiar Polish L that is pronounced like a W.
I've found nothing on the meaning, in a Polish dictionary or in a oouple of dictionaries of surnames. It remains a mystery.
