Skuratowski

Skuratowski is a surname of Polish origin. It is built with the suffix -owski, a common ending in Polish family names that often signals a connection to a place or to a family lineage. The base element "Skurat-" may derive from a place name, a nickname, or a personal name, and as with many -owski surnames, multiple unrelated lineages can converge on the same spelling over time.

Variants of the name include Skuratowsky and Skuratovski, among other spellings. Such varieties commonly arise from transliteration differences, migrations, and changes in national or local spelling practices as families moved across borders or adapted to new languages.

Skuratowski is relatively uncommon and is found primarily in Poland, with occurrences in Polish diaspora communities in North America and parts of Western Europe. Because the name is not widely cataloged in major biographical references, there are no universally recognized individuals with this surname who dominate public profiles. In local or genealogical records, individuals bearing the name may appear, but notable prominence varies by region and context.

See also notes: the surname is distinct from similarly spelled names such as Kuratowski, which has its own separate etymology and notable lineages. Skuratowski should be treated as a separate surname with its own family histories and lineages.
