Jagielski

Jagielski is a Polish surname. It is derived from the given name Jagiełło, which itself is of Lithuanian origin. The surname is patronymic, indicating descent from or relationship to someone named Jagiełło. The name Jagiełło is related to the Lithuanian name Jogaila, which has uncertain etymology, possibly derived from the words "joti" (to ride) or "jungti" (to join, unite).

The surname Jagielski, like many Polish surnames ending in "-ski," often denotes a connection to a specific place or origin, sometimes implying nobility or land ownership. However, over time, the association with nobility may have diminished, and the suffix simply indicated origin from a village or estate originally associated with a person named Jagiełło.

The surname is found primarily in Poland and among Polish diaspora communities. The spelling can sometimes vary slightly, but "Jagielski" is a common and accepted form.
