Guchowski

Guchowski is a surname of Polish origin. It is a toponymic surname formed with the common suffix -owski, which typically indicates a connection to a place. The base element Guch- is presumed to derive from a Polish locality name; several villages or estates with related names exist, and the surname may have originated independently in different regions. As with many -owski surnames, Guchowski would have signified membership in or association with a place rather than a patronymic or occupational origin.

In Polish, the surname follows standard gender and number inflection: masculine Guchowski, feminine Guchowska, plural Guchowscy. In non-Polish contexts, spellings may vary, and some emigrants have altered forms to fit local orthographies.

The name is found in Poland and among Polish diaspora communities abroad, particularly in North America and Western Europe, reflecting historical migration patterns. Because it is habitational rather than patronymic, multiple unrelated families may bear the surname if they come from different locales with similar names.

Notable individuals with the surname Guchowski are not listed here, but bearers may be found in various professional fields across countries where Polish communities have established themselves.
