Guchowska

Guchowska is a Polish surname. It is the feminine form of the masculine surname Guchowski, following a common Polish pattern in which -ski becomes -ska for female bearers. The name is typically toponymic, originating from places named Guchów or other settlements containing the root Guch-, and it historically signified an association with such a locality or an estate.

As a surname, Guchowska is most common in Poland and among Polish communities abroad. Outside Poland, bearers have been recorded in countries with large Polish diasporas, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada, often through migration in the 19th and 20th centuries and subsequent generations.

In Polish onomastics, the -ski/-ska suffix denotes a paternal or acquired connection to a place or family, rather than a fixed line of nobility in contemporary usage. The masculine form remains Guchowski, while female members traditionally use Guchowska in formal writing and everyday usage.
