                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Cyndi,&lt;br /&gt;

This is what I found about&amp;#058;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Kiejna &lt;/span&gt; is rather uncommon surname. I have found its meaning nor origin in my sources. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2002 there were only 65 people using the surname Kiejna living in Poland. Most lived in Wroclaw. Detailed map can be found here &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Kiejna&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Kiejna&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Michał-; Michalski&lt;/span&gt; from Hebrew name &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;Mikha'el&lt;/span&gt;, &amp;quot;who is like God?&amp;quot;. Polish &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;Michał&lt;/span&gt;, English &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;Michael&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In contrast to the previous surname, Michalski is a very popular last name in the whole Poland. In 2002 there were more than 26 000 men and almost 27 000 women using the surname Michalski (or its female form Michalska) living in Poland. Detailed map can be found here &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Michalski&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Michalski&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 19th century there were following noble families:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michalski coat of arms Łodzia&lt;br /&gt;
Michalski coat of arms Korczak &lt;br /&gt;
Michalski Jan ennobled in 1768&lt;br /&gt;
Michalski coat of arms Trzaska from Rejów, Halicz region (now Ukraine)&lt;br /&gt;
