ArchivesMeaning of my surname
Hi,
I'm a female of Polish origin. My last name is "Kaminski" (with a slash over the "n" to make the pronunciation soft). I'm having trouble with the meaning of "Kamin-" and of the suffix "-ski". I found some information on the suffix, but it is very broad. Please let me know the meaning/origin, or any information that may help me.
Thank You
Agata
