Americanized Polish surnames are often simplified or anglicized versions of their original Polish forms. For example, the Polish surname "Kowalski" may become "Kowalsky" in its Americanized form. Similarly, "Nowak" could be changed to "Novak" and "Wjcik" to "Wojcik." These changes often involve altering the spelling or pronunciation to make the surname easier for English speakers to understand and pronounce.
