I've met several people from Poland with the nickname "ski." Gee, now I know where that came from!

"Ski" . . . "Poles" . . . It all makes sense.

Too much snow, not enough ice or granite for my tastes. (I ski in Vermont)

Here's one Pole whose name doesn't end in "ski," Adam Malysz.

I always thought that in Poland, you take the ski lift down, and ski up!

How much is a 1-day ski-pass in the place where you ski?
Just want to compare prices :-)

Who do so many Polish names end in ski? Because they don’t have toboggans over there.

Because they don’t have toboggans over there. Can you imagine? The character in "A Streetcar Named Desire" would be Stanley Kowaltoboggan. The soviet-era general would be Jaruzeltoboggan.

To: Andyman
The thought is that names that end in "ski" are tied to the village that was formerly owned by that family. Thus, the perception is that names that end in "-ski" denote relatives of the former Polish nobility. So for example, if you have the last name Grabowski, that would indicate that your relatives came from the village of Grabowo.
