Mirowski

Mirowski is a Polish surname of toponymic origin. It is derived from place names such as Mirów or Mirow in Poland, with the -ski suffix indicating an association with a location. The standard feminine form is Mirowska, and the masculine surname is Mirowski; the name is commonly used in its masculine form in identity references, with Mirowska used for women in corresponding contexts.

As with other Polish -ski surnames, Mirowski denotes a geographic connection rather than an occupation or lineage by itself. The name is part of a broad category of surnames formed from place names through the addition of the adjectival suffix -ski. Spelling variants in non-Polish contexts may include Mirowsky or Mirowsky, reflecting transliteration practices.

Distribution and use: Mirowski is most frequently found in Poland and among Polish communities abroad. Diasporic populations in North America and Western Europe have carried the name to new regions, where it may appear in various countries and communities over generations.

Notable bearers: The surname Mirowski has been borne by individuals across fields such as academia, arts, and sports. Because it is a toponymic surname with several possible source locations, unrelated families may share the name without a common direct ancestry.
