Re: polish surname WOJTYLA
After reading Menke's great site on Slavic endings and one of my own Russian sites, I would guess that the root of this word, 'wo-' or 'vo-' is related to "war" ...so it possibly means something like "warrior" or "son of or related to war" ...just a guess ...

Menke, anything closer?
