Why do all polish surnames end with -ski?
Why do all polish surnames end with -ski?
poles are jewish
because its their culture
Also why are Poles using Jewish-American names?
I was told that -ski is for royalty in Poland when they came to USA they wanted to look royal so changed their name to -ski. Unsure if true.
because every Slavic nation has its own gimmick surname suffix
Czechs: -il, -al
Ukrainians: -enko, -chuk
Russians: -in, -ov, -ski
Serbocroats: -ich
Bulgaromacedonians: -ov
Slovenes: -ets, -nik
etc
-ski is also very popular in Macedonia, just look at their football players last names for example
also probably in czechia and slovakia but they wirte it -sky

Why are all rural Americans called Billy-Bob?

No. It was before that. People adopted surnames similar to those of the noble class, regardless of whether they emigrated to the USA at some point or not.
Not everything is centered around your country, lardass.

The equivalent in Germany would be if everyone started putting a "von" in front of their surnames. As in, Matthias Müller would now start calling himself Matthias von Müller, and everyone else in the country would change their name in a similar manner.
However in slavic languages the suffix -ski has a meaning. For example in russian "muzhik Kazanski" means man of/from Kazan. Similarly, let's take the Polish surname Sułkowski - the meaning of it is "person coming from Sułków".
Basically, in Poland the nobility took the -ski suffixes to indicate which town/castle they hail from, for them it was a geographic distinction that separated them from the rest of the nobility. Later peasants took that custom over and started using the suffix as well.
We also have -uk and Russians have -ev.
t. mr -ov
It's a honorary title from the Russian army while your ancestors were busy farming beetroots.
-ov and -ev are the same desu
