Yes, indeed. He does seem foreign (Turkic).

It is a fact that certain (NOT ALL) surnames in Poland and Belarus ending in -wicz are of Asiatic origins (Tatar, Armenian, etc) for example Achmieciejewicz (variant of Achmatowicz - Lipka Tatar), Antoniewicz ("son of Anthony" - Armenian), Achmatowicz ("son of Achmat, that is, Ahmed" - Lipka Tatar). These surnames usually sound "exotic" and are easy to spot, eg. Abgarowicz. "son of Abgar".

Not all surnames ending in -wicz are like this, for example surnames that end in -kiewicz are genuinely Slavic (Sienkiewicz, Mickiewicz, Marcinkiewicz, etc)

There are tatars and Armenians in Poland? :coffee:

Yes, there are. Tatars were mainly present in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, but had substantial numbers in the Kingdom of Poland as well, back in the days.

Tatars are one of Poland's many minorities. Selim Chazbijewicz is a major Tatar figure in Poland.

Yes, there are Armenians in Poland :eek:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenians_in_poland

They've been there for a long time.

Now that you mentioned it, I guess the presence of the Tatars in Poland kind of makes sense. As for Armenians, I they are one of those minorities that are everywhere. From Russia to California, it seems that every country has a sizable Armenian minority.
