Post subject: origin of surname Czerniejewski
Hi Paulski,
The root of this name is czern originating from the adjective czarny meaning “black”, czerń meaning “blackness” or “mob”. Also many places names gave rise to this and other associated surnames: Czerna, Czernecki, Czernek, Czerniak, Czerniakowski, Czerniawski, Czernicki, Czerniecki, Czerniejewski, Czerniewski, Czernik, Czernoch, Czerny.
Here you can listen to how Czerniejewski is pronounced:

The Polish surnames database nazwiska-polskie, which is ultimately based on the official PESEL database as of the year 2002, shows the distribution of the surname and its variations (you have to look up the feminine and masculine endings separately):
Czerniejewski / Czerniejewska:

As you can see, people with this surname are particularly concentrated in a few counties of mid-western Poland: Poznaz, Gniezno, Slupca, Konin.
According to Spis Szlachty Polskiej (Register of Polish Nobility) published in 1887 in Lvov, a noble family with the name Czerniejewski vel Czerniejowski originated in Czerniec in Ruthenia (present-day Ukraine) in 1492; they had the Korczak coat of arms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korczak_coat_of_arms
