Reply with quote
Did a recent search on a couple of sites to try and find my grandmother's father. When I type in the last name Dostatnia, all I seem to get are female names.....no males. I'm finding this to be quite odd to say the least. I know that in some cases, there are male and female endings to Polish sir names. Any clue as to what might be the "male" version of Dostatnia? Any help would be most appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum PolishGirl54,

The male ending will bee "Dostatni", just without 'a' at the end. Do you know what dostatni (or dostatnia) means? It can be translated as 'affluent' or 'prosperous' Smile .
