Chmielowski Family Crest & Name History

One surname, two spellings: Chmielowski and Chmielewski. Like many surnames, it began with a place: “From Chmielewo (hop field)”.

Related forms: Chmelewski and Chmielewska. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. Only a small detail separates the spellings: Chmielowski has “o” where Chmielewski has “e”.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Chmielowski, so the heraldry linked to Chmielewski is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Chmielowski report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
