Wegiel Surname User-submission:

In Polish there are two words like in the other Slavic languages :1 węgiel = the coal (a miner as ancestor?)2 węgieł = the angle, the corner (from a location?)BUT there is a possibility that the surname comes from 3 węgr = Hungarian (an Hungarian ancestor)4 wągr = comedo (as a derogative description?)5 węgorz = eel (for so many different reasons)In my humble opinion the second spelling is logical.
