text: # Waliszewski
  
  Waliszewski (with its female form Waliszewska and plural form Waliszewscy) is a Polish surname of toponymic origin, deriving either from Waliszewice, two small villages with the name Waliszew or a third, now defunct Waliszew which later separated into Waliszew Dworski and Stary Waliszew, small settlements in the Łódź and Masovian voivodeships. The stem of the toponym Waliszew is derived from the diminutive form Walisz of the old Polish male name Walisław/Wolisław (from Polish wola "will" and sława "glory").
