Piotrowski

[1] Descendants of certain noble families, including that of a minor Tatar Knyaz that most likely had Naiman-Beg's youngest son, also bear the name or variations thereof.

The earliest recorded usage of the surname can be traced back to the 11th century.

The name has been associated with the Abdank, Belina, Ginwiłł, Gozdawa, Jastrzębiec, Junosza, Korwin, Kotwica, Leliwa, Lis, Nieczuja, Poraj, Prus, Przerowa, Rawa, Ślepowron, and Świnka coats of arms.

According to Polish heraldist Kasper Niesiecki (1682–1744), families bearing Piotr-derived surnames living in the region formerly known as Podlasie were often represented by the Gozdawa coat of arms.

Families with these surnames living in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the area surrounding Drohiczyn bore the Junosza coat of arms.
