Polish Surnames Derived from Names of Birds
Abstract
Based on a dictionary of contemporary Polish surnames, the article collects surnames
that are identical as bird names, and includes the number of persons who bear
such names. The number is surprisingly high (642 277 persons). The article demonstrates,
through examples, how various qualities of birds motivate the metaphorical
use of bird names as nicknames, and subsequently as surnames.
