Jim asked me in private message to tell him a little about meaning and origin of the surname Chwalkowski
Below is what I found.
Chwalkowski, or more often Chwałkowski (with Polish 'ł' - pronounced like English 'w') Chwal-: from ancient Polish names such as Chwalimir, Chwalisław with the root chwała - glory, pride. Also from places names such as Chwałkowo.
In 19th century there were following noble families:
