Maybe. If we go back enough generations. Kozlowski is a fairly common Polish surname.

I think it's actually *the* most common surname in Poland and if I remember correctly it derives from a trade (like Smith or Cooper or something).  So maybe not related at all.

12th most common.

It has something to do with goats. 😂🐐 Koza is Polish for goat. Funny story. I lived in Lubbock TX for a while and my friend was a contract engineer for several stations. (Sharing an engineer when you're too small or poor to hire one full time.) One of his clients was a small AM called KOZA. I told him what that meant. He said it figured.

"The surname Kozlowski (feminine: Kozłowska) is a traditional Polish and Polish-Jewish geographic name meaning "one from Kozłów" or places named from the root word kozioł, which means "he-goat".

So Brian Kozial on WGR is a he-goat?

Oh... I think it was Kowalski that was the top name now that I think about it.

My surname is also a place name ("one from...") but it's not terribly widespread so I'll just keep it to myself.

Czechs are stingy with vowels.

Do we congratulate them on being ahead of their time or do we blame them for things like TINDR, GRINDR, etc?

It is.  I remember when I lived in Buffalo, Kozlowskis took up at least a page in the phone book.

It’s goat farmer or I guess should be called a rancher.

Since I have 5 acres, I’ve thought about it, but right now it’s all open so would cost a pretty penny to fence in, plus a barn or some enclosure for them.
