Allison,

As Gilberto wrote Ksiazkiewicz or Książkiewicz is from Polish word ksiądz- „priest” or książę - „prince”. It can be impossible to determine for sure which of these words a specific surname came from, and some may also come from książka, “book”.

In 2002 there were 2021 individuals using the surname Książkiewicz living in Poland. Detailed map of the surname distribution can be found here: https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Ksi%C4%85%C5%BCkiewicz .
