[Surname] Walewski
Hi!
I'm looking for the meaning of the Polish surname Walewski (or, more specifically, Walewska which I assume is the form of this surname used for (married?) women?).
Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Walewski is one of a great many Polish surnames that are derived from Wal- as in Walenty 'Valentine' and Walerian 'Valerian'. For feminine forms, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_names#Feminine_forms.
Thank you, Marc!
