Help[Surname] Cwirta
Hi!
I'm looking for the meaning of the surname Cwirta. As far as I know, it's a Polish surname and it seems to be rather rare.
Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Ćwirta is not really that rare as you can see at http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/%25C4%2587wirta.html. According to Hoffman's Polish Surnames dictionary, it's derived from ćwierć 'quarter' but it's not obvious to me what such a nickname could relate to.
