Dmowski

Dmowski is a Polish surname. The masculine form is Dmowski, the feminine form is Dmowska, and the plural is Dmowscy. It belongs to the group of Polish surnames formed with the -ski suffix, a common pattern in Polish nomenclature that often denotes a connection to a place, occupation, or family lineage. The name is found among Polish populations and in communities abroad via diaspora.

Notable people bearing the name include Roman Dmowski (1864–1939), a Polish statesman, politician, and co-founder of the National Democracy movement. He was a leading figure in Polish nationalist thought and played a significant role in the country’s struggle for independence. As a diplomat and public official, Dmowski influenced Poland’s early 20th-century policy and contributed to the negotiations surrounding Poland’s status after World War I, including the shaping of the borders of the Second Polish Republic.

In other contexts, individuals with the surname appear less prominently in English-language sources, and no widely recognized non-person entity named Dmowski is broadly documented. The name remains most closely associated with Polish heritage and, through Roman Dmowski, with the country’s early 20th-century political history.
