ArchivesRe: Arlovskaya
in reply to a message by Salonix
First: these forms of the name are feminine. The form for a man would be Arlovsky, Arlowski (Polish), or similar.
There is a Bielorussian surname, Арлоўскі. I don't know the meaning, but it could be from a place name. One possibility is that it's a version of the Polish surname Orłowski. which is probably from a place name such as Orłów. Belarus was once part of the Polish Commonwealth, ruled over by the Kings of Poland. As a result there are names in common in the two nations. I've also noticed a tendency for the letter A to be in words where there might be a letter O in other Slavic languages. An example is that A in the name of the country, Belarus.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
