Karbonylów

Karbonylów is a Polish surname. It is derived from the Polish word "karbon," meaning charcoal. The surname likely originated as a toponymic or occupational surname, referring to someone who lived near a place known for charcoal production or who worked with charcoal. Surnames derived from occupations or geographical features were common in Poland and throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. The suffix "-ów" is a possessive suffix, indicating "son of" or "belonging to." Therefore, "Karbonylów" could be interpreted as "belonging to the charcoal maker" or "from the place of charcoal." The prevalence of this surname is primarily concentrated in Poland, though like many surnames, it may be found in diaspora communities around the world. Geneological research can often trace the origins and migration patterns of families bearing this surname.
