Krawiecki is a Polish-language surname. It is derived from the noun krawiec, meaning tailor, and the suffix -cki, a common element in Polish surnames that signals association or origin. The name can be understood as meaning “of the tailor” or “tailor’s,” and it likely originated as an occupational or locational surname in historical Poland. The standard inflection follows Polish grammar: masculine Krawiecki, feminine Krawiecka, plural Krawieccy.

In terms of distribution, the surname is most commonly found in Poland and appears in historical records dating back to the 19th century. With emigration and migration, Krawiecki has also been borne by individuals in Polish communities abroad, particularly in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany, among other countries.
