Szczepanski Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Polish) The son of Szczepan (crown or garland).

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

User-submitted Reference

The Scepansky spelling was, according to my grandmother, assigned at Ellis Island as a simpler variant (though of course I still find that no one can spell or pronounce it correctly). Although Szczepanski is very common, I presume that anyone with the particular spelling Scepansky is a distant cousin; and seeing here an estimate of only 26 people with this name confirms that assumption.

- scepansky

I was told by my father a basic translation break down of the name Szczep = 'Steven'; an = 'of'; ski = 'son'. An English equivliant would be Stephenson.
