For whatever reason, we got curious about Kyle Filipowski’s last name and the etymology thereof. So we did the natural thing and googled it. It’s Polish obviously and means habitational name for someone of any of various places called Filipowice or Filipów from the personal name Filip, which makes perfect sense.
That got us curious about the rest of the team. So here goes:
- Blakes. Blakes comes from an Old English word that can mean black, dark, white or pale. But in Irish it means dark one.
- Borden: it means vale of the boar.
