Stawski

Stawski is a Polish surname derived from the Polish noun staw meaning "pond". The name originally referred to someone who lived near a pond or who worked as a pond keeper. It follows the common Polish pattern of forming surnames with the suffix -ski (feminine form: Stawska; plural: Stawscy), which indicates nobility or association with a place. The root is also reflected in the names of several villages in Poland, such as Stawy.
