Waliszewski
Waliszewski [valiˈʂɛvski] (with its female form Waliszewska [valiˈʂɛvska] and plural form Waliszewscy [valiˈʂɛvst͡sɨ]) is a Polish surname of toponymic origin, deriving either from Waliszewice, two small villages with the name Waliszew or a third, now defunct Waliszew which later separated into Waliszew Dworski and Stary Waliszew, small settlements in the Łódź and Masovian voivodeships.[1] The stem of the toponym Waliszew is derived from the diminutive form Walisz of the old Polish male name Walisław/Wolisław (from Polish wola "will" and sława "glory").[1]
