Origin of the Krawczyk name
Krawczyk comes from krawiec, "tailor", with a diminutive or patronymic suffix, so it could mean "tailor's son" or a tailor's apprentice. Tailors were found in every Polish town, so the name arose in many families independently. Krawczyk is among the most common surnames in Poland, especially in the central regions around Łódź.
