I think it means “Smith.” In fact, find the most common name in any language, and it means “Smith.”
To: CharlesOConnell
Also in “Stargate” and “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”

Ice Man was a Kowalski. The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies' room.

There’s a character in a book I’m reading, a “Sigma Force” novel by James Rollins, that is named Kolwalski.
To: Reaganez
Think it says Kozlowski, but due to that picture she is number 1 on the Kowalski list!

You are being followed.
They know about that time you put ketchup on your Polish sausage! Oh, the torment the sauerkraut had to endure!
To: CharlesOConnell
We've got more Kowalskis than Polish cinema!
To: Arthur McGowan
Maybe, but the Indian name Patel has something to do with being a farmer, IIRC.

I can think immediately of two reasons. Chicago, the second largest Polish city on Earth after Warsaw and unofficial capital of the American heartland, probably has an abundance of Kowalski’s. That alone would embed the name into the American psyche alongside Smith and Jones. Second, I’ve been to Poland a few times and “Kowalski” has an adequate balance of vowels and consonants making it one of the few Polish names most Americans can correctly pronounce.

Compared to most Polish names, Kowalski almost pronounces its self.

Killer Kowalski any relation to Tarzan Kowalski who wrestled in the ‘50s? Watched him when I was young . . . from Marigold Gardens in Chicago, Jack Brickhouse announcing.
