Thanks Sean. I took a look at those sites. As you say, it's a bit problematic. I also did a few more searches, but I only ended up with more questions :D
Krus (Kru??) also exists as a surname in Poland.
I guess it means 'cross', though not in modern Polish. In Croatian Kruzic means 'little cross'. This indicates Krzcki may not be 100% Polish after all.
Is Krus a 'real' Polish surname, or do its origins lie elsewhere?

Sorry, Slavic names aren't my speciality, though I'm interested in them ...one thing to be sure, 100% is a relative term ... everyone considers 'Sean' to be very Irish, but of course it comes from John which has a Hebrew origin.
