ArchivesRe: Meaning of the Russian surname "Poplawski"
in reply to a message by Nikki Scodras
Correction, I'm now pretty sure the name is Polish, with the "-ski" meaning "son of", if the suffix "-lawski" doesn't mean something entirely different.

I think it may be based on the Serbo-Croatian or Slowenian word for flood: 'Poplava' (this is also a surname).
