  • Surnames occurring once are not published; absence from the dataset is not zero.
  • The publisher does not state whether the split is by a person's sex or by the grammatical gender of the surname form. The datasets are therefore neither summed nor compared numerically.

  • Denominator: 21,560,302 people counted in the PESEL register — the sum of the published counts in this dataset, not Poland's population.

  • The size of the list itself changes between editions, so beside the count we show the share of that edition's list (“1 in X”).

  • A shared name in the register. It does not say where the surname began, or that the surname and these places are connected.
  • Whole localities only, as SIMC lists them, without parts of a locality, under the register's official name.
