Brajowski

Brajowski is a Polish surname of toponymic origin. It is formed with the suffix -owski, a common element in Polish surnames that historically signals association with a place or locality. The base Braj- occurs in several Polish toponyms, and Brajowski would have referred to a family originating from such a place.

In terms of gender and number in Polish, the masculine form is Brajowski, the feminine form is Brajowska, and the plural form is Brajowscy. As with many -owski surnames, Brajowski denotes geographic origin rather than occupation or personal characteristic and therefore does not imply a specific trade or status.

The surname is found among people in Poland and in Polish diaspora communities around the world. Because it is toponymic, unrelated families may independently adopt the name if they originated from different locales that share the Braj- element in their toponyms. Genealogical records for Brajowski typically identify individuals by given name and dates rather than by a centralized family lineage.

Overall, Brajowski exemplifies a common pattern in Polish nomenclature where a place-based root combined with the -owski suffix yields a surname indicating origin rather than lineage or profession.
