Nadja: The name is not too common, in Poland today there are only 17 with the name, in 5 provinces:

Nazwisko Ogólna liczba Rozmieszczenie
Hnatow 17 Gd:13, Pt:1, Pł:1, Rz:1, Ta:1

These figures are from Dr. Rymut's 1990 Survey of Polish names, which is linked from Polish Roots.

There is a table of the province abbreviations.

My paternal GrGrandmother Maria was a Hnatow. She is buried in Walawa, Podkarpackie province.

Hello Mason

I've just come onto this site as my mother asked me to look up the origins of the surname Hnatiw online and see what came up.
To that end, I thought that i would add what i knew about the Origins of the Name that I knew of.
My Paternal Grandfather came from the village of Horpin in the Ukraine and settled in Felsted in Essex to escape the Second World War.
In my research that i did last year i found the original Ukrainian spelling of the name which had a G on the front of the original eastern european way of saying it.
In this way the original spelling was actually Ghnatow. I didn't get as far as the followers of Ignatious but i had seen the family shield and thought it unusual.
Here is what i know about My grandfather's family and mine in England:

Grandfather: Alexi Hnatiw....Spouse: No current information,
Children: Michael, Olga, (and at least two more that we don't know much about. As far as we know Alexi didn't divorce his first wife before he escaped to England and didn't talk about them much after my father was born.

Second Wife in England: Patoria Hnatiw ne Stephanson
Children: Michael (married to Teresa, children: Sebastian and Nadina) Olga (Married to Brian, children: Cameroon and Clayton) Andrew (Married to Jola, children: Antony) John (Married to Malgosia, children: Gregory and Natalia) Kathy (Married to Reg, children: Niel and Alpa)

We know of at least One other Hnatiw family in America that's not connected (closely) with our branch. Andrew currently lives in Germany and Olga lives in America with Brian her second husband.

If you have any other questions please let me know
