I would read the top image as Woytkowna and the second image with the spelling Wojtkowna. The suffix -owna indicates that she is a single young lady, "the daughter of..." The question then becomes was the masculine singular nominative of the surname Wojtek or Wojtko, either of which seems possible to me.

These two photos show the same name...really. The second one has some interference from the lower name. They look something like "Woythor"?
