Hi all! Does this last name sound any Polish to you: Renzhiglo? I have an online sourse in Ukrainian saying that it is Polish. The sourse, however, says nothing about the origins. I also know that it comes from Ukraine.
It doesn't to me, but it may mean nothing. I looked via Google for "Renżyglo" --"Your search - renżyglo - did not match any documents.", "Rężyglo"--"No results found for rężyglo", and "Renżiglo"--"No results found for renżiglo", "Renżygło"--"Your search - renżygło - did not match any documents.". I have, however, found something related to "Rężygło" on what looks to be Ukrainian websites.
The Ukrainian website http://domivka.net/archive/t-17394.html discusses this name (starting with a post on 25.6.14). Someone suggests a derivation from Pan Żeglowski , but that is only one suggestion.
Apart from the spelling, which is English transliteration rather than Polish, '-ło' or '-łło' suffix sounds for me more like Lithuanian or Polish-Lithuanian rather than purely Polish.
A Polish name of Lithuanian origin can be a possibility (it does not sound like anything of Slavic origin) By the way, double ł never occurs in Polonized Lithuanian names after a consonant, only after a vowel (Jagiełło, Świdrygiełło, Dowgiałło).
