POLISH-AMERICAN NAMES (nameset 15)
3.2% of American population
There were a fair number of spelling errors that needed to be corrected in this database - not surprising, perhaps, given how daunting Polish spelling can be. All diacritical marks were removed. Some nasalized vowels received an -m (e.g. Dąbrowski was changed to Dambrowski). Russian/Ukrainian names ending in -sky were deleted, as were feminine (-ska) versions of names ending in -ski. Some names were omitted to avoid repetition with the Jewish nameset.
Sources that I used include:
Some prominent Polish-American ballplayers:
- Al Simmons (Aloys Szymanski)
- Stan Musial (Stanislaw Franciszek Musial)
- Carl Yastrzemski
- Stan Coveleski
- Bill Mazeroski
- Moose Skowron
- Doug Mientkiewicz
- Richie Zisk
