Hi! I'm trying to find out the meaning of my last name. I don't know if it's been
Americanized from when my great-grandparents came in at Ellis Island from Poland.
The closest I can find is what is posted in the surname list of Polish last names: "Piatek", which apparently means "Friday" in Polish.
I've found other people (online) with the last name of Pietak, but I can't seem to find the meaning of it.
Also, does anyone know the real Polish pronunciation? My family pronounces it like "pee - tack" (long e as in "greet" and long a as in "cat") but I would like to know the real/official pronunciation of Pietak, if anyone knows it.
Can you help me, please? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
