Questions and answers

What are the most common last names in Poland?

Nowak, Kowalski, Wiśniewski, Wójcik and Kowalczyk lead Poland's national register, counting men and women together. Nowak alone is carried by 198,125 people. These are common Polish last names in fact, not a guess: the counts are the register's own.

Why do so many Polish last names end in -ski?

The ending -ski makes an adjective: it once marked the estate a noble family held, and was later added to names from trades, traits and places too. Today it is the most common ending, on 140 of the 300 names here.

Do Polish women have a different last name?

The same name, in a woman's form, when it ends in -ski, -cki or -dzki: Kowalski becomes Kowalska, Wiśniewski becomes Wiśniewska. Other names, such as Nowak and Wójcik, do not change. The register lists men's and women's surnames apart.

Where do the counts come from?

From the PESEL register, Poland's population register, which the Ministry of Digital Affairs publishes as open data each year. The files used here count living people by their current surname as of 20 January 2026.

How this list was compiled

The 300 most common surnames in Poland's PESEL register (the national population register), from the two files 'Nazwiska męskie' and 'Nazwiska żeńskie', as of 20 January 2026, published by Poland's Ministry of Digital Affairs on the open data portal dane.gov.pl (https://dane.gov.pl/pl/dataset/1681, read 2 October 2026). The register lists men's and women's surnames apart: 408,182 men's and 420,082 women's. For a surname ending in -ski, -cki or -dzki the woman's form ends in -ska, -cka or -dzka, so the card adds the women counted under that form (Kowalski, Kowalska); the same is done for the few other surnames in -y or -i whose form in -a holds most of the women in the register (Konieczny, Konieczna); for any other surname the card adds the women counted under the same spelling (Nowak). The rank here is by men and women together, counted that way by us; the register itself publishes the two lists and no joint rank. Counts are of living people registered in Poland with that current surname. What the endings tell is from English Wikipedia's 'Polish name' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_name), read the same day. An ending describes how a kind of name was formed, not any one family.
