Czajkowski (Polish pronunciation: [t͡ʂajˈkɔfskʲi], feminine: Czajkowska, plural: Czajkowscy) is a Polish noble family name for several coats of arms.[1] The name derives from several locations names Czajki, Czajków, or Czajkowo, all derived from the name of the bird czajka, 'lapwing'.[citation needed]
