The name Czołgosz is definitely Polish. It's listed in Hoffman's dictionary of Polish surnames but no satisfactory origin is given for it.

but it shouldn't have such a complicated etymology... Doesn't it? I mean... Czol must be one lexeme and "gosz" must be the other lexeme... or "Czolg" and "osz"...

Polish "czołgać się" means "to crawl". There may be a connection.
