Makowski
Makowski (feminine: Makowska; plural: Makowscy) is a Polish surname with regional variations across Slavic countries, such as Makovsky in Russia.
Etymology
The surname Makowski relates to a location, as it was common among nobility (the suffix -ski being the equivalent of the English "of", the Germanic "von" and the French "de"). In this case, it is likely indicating one of the towns named Maków or Makowo.[1]
The etymological root "Mak" translates to "Poppy" in Slavic languages.
