Gaussowski

Gaussowski is a Polish-language surname. Like many Polish surnames ending in -owski, it is traditionally toponymic or patronymic, indicating a connection to a place, landholding, or family name. The root "Gauss" (or "Gauß") points to the German surname Gauss, suggesting that Gaussowski may derive from a place or family associated with Gauss, or from a given name that had become affixed as a surname in Polish-speaking communities. The diacritic variation Gaußowski is sometimes used in German-language contexts.

In terms of distribution, Gaussowski is most commonly found in Poland and among Polish diaspora communities outside Poland, including North America and Western Europe. The name appears in civil records, immigration documents, and genealogical databases, typically in areas with Polish immigrant settlement.

As with many surnames, individual family histories vary widely. The name can appear in different spelling variants due to orthographic changes during migration, assimilation, or translation. Notable individuals with the surname are not widely documented in major reference works, but bearers may be found in local records, academic journals, or artistic and professional fields across countries with Polish populations.
