Laskowski Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Polish) Dweller in, or near, a forest; one who came from Laskow(o), in Poland.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

User-submitted Reference

In most Slavic languages, Laska (Polish, Czech, Bulgarian etc.) means 'caress'. In Russian it means a weasel. It is rumored, however, it derives from the popular Hungarian surname, László, with the suffixes -ov and -ova, which is a typical Bulgarian/ Russian last name prefix, hence explains the popularity of this name in those countries.
