Help[Surname] Re: Kurecka, meaning and origin in Czech, Slovakian, Polish
in reply to a message by jstasney
If your great-grandmother was Kurecka this may be a female form of Kurecky (Czech) or Kurecki (Polish). The basis of the name could be Kurek, which is a Polish place name. I haven't found a likely place name in the Czech Republic or Slovakia which could be a source, but that's not to say that none exists. Those names ending in -sky/-ski or -cki/cky are adjectival, signifying "belonging to ...", and are often, but not always, locative.
