Carol,
If you look at this thread on the Ancestry message board, you will see a mention of Joannes Ludwik wo was born on May 2, 1894, and married Bronisława (Bronislawa) Harbut on Jan 27, 1926. She was born on August 21, 1897. Bronisława's parents were Stefan Harbut and Regina Gewont. The village Koniówka is close to Czarny Dunajec.

According to the great book Polish Surnames: Origins and Meanings by Fred Hoffman Harbut or Herbut is Germianc dithematic name Heribod (heri "army" + bod "master"). German king ca. 400.

There are only 178 people bearing Harbut surname and almost half of them (86) lives in Nowy Targ county. I can't say if the surnames Harbut and British Harbutt are of the same origin from German Heribod, but I think there is such possibility.

In researching my grandfather, Maciej Harbut, from Czarny Dunajec I have come across hundreds of people in England researching Harbutt. Does anyone know if these Brits are Polish in origin or is it a derivation of another name?
