Lewandowsky Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Lewandowsky, so the heraldry linked to Lewandowski is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Meaning of the name

Some records give Lewandowski; others give Lewandowsky. Both point to the same Polish family name. The name is habitational, pointing to “From Lewandów (lavender place)”.

How the spelling arose

Emigrant records often turned Lewandowski into Lewandowsky, swapping the final i for a y. The same family of names includes Levandowski and Lewandowska.
