Trzciński

Trzciński is a Polish surname. It is derived from a place name, most likely a village or region called Trzcin, Trzcina, or a related variant, all of which are connected to the Polish word "trzcina," meaning reed (specifically, a type of tall grass that grows in wet areas). Therefore, the surname likely originated as a descriptor for someone who lived near a reed bed or came from a place named after reeds.

Surnames of this type are common in Poland and other Slavic countries, where names were often based on geographical features, occupations, or personal characteristics. The "ski" ending is a common Polish suffix indicating origin or association with a place. Thus, Trzciński signifies "from Trzcin/Trzcina" or "associated with Trzcin/Trzcina."

The surname Trzciński, like many Polish surnames, is subject to declension in Polish grammar, changing form depending on its grammatical role in a sentence.
