Some detals about the name cegla:
Cegla is a name used by Poles. In Polish it is spelled with a slash ~ over the l.

The Polish letter l is pronounced like English W, so by English phonetic values the name would be pronounced roughly "TSEGG-wah."

Polish name expert Prof. Kazimierz Rymut mentions this name in his book _Nazwiska Polakow_ [The Surnames of Poles]. He says it appears in records as far back as 1369, and does indeed come from the Polish noun: cegl~a_, "brick." That noun came into Polish from German _Ziegel_, which in turn came from the Latin noun: tegula_. Presumably it began as a nickname for an ancestor who made bricks, or sold them, or worked with them, or was somehow associated by others with bricks. Eventually people began calling the kin of this
ancestor by the name, and it developed into a surname.
