NOWICKI
Nowicki
Nowicki is a surname of Polish origin that has become somewhat common in the United Kingdom as a result of immigration and intermarriage. The name is derived from the Polish word 'nowy,' meaning 'new,' and typically, the surname Nowicki was given to people who came from a place called Nowy or had some association with the notion of newness.
As with many surnames of Slavic origin, Nowicki is characterised by the common suffix '-ski,' which denotes a connection to a particular place or characteristic. The name is often found among the Polish diaspora in the UK, particularly in cities with strong Polish communities.
Individuals bearing the surname Nowicki have likely inherited it from their Polish ancestors or acquired it through marriage. Like many surnames, its significance may have evolved over time, and its bearers today may not necessarily have a direct link to its original meaning.
In a multicultural society like the UK, the surname Nowicki serves as a testament to the diverse roots of its inhabitants and the contributions of Polish immigrants to British society. It reflects the rich tapestry of names that make up the country's surnames and highlights the connections that exist between different cultures.
There are approximately 483 people named Nowicki in the UK. That makes it one of Britain's least common surnames. Only around seven in a million people in Britain are named Nowicki.
