Zielinski Name Meaning and History
Polish (Zielinski): from zielony ‘green’, in various senses, or from ziolo ‘herb’. As a Polish name it seems primarily to have been a nickname for a person with a sickly ‘greenish’ complexion. It may also have been a nickname for someone who habitually dressed in green, or who was ‘green’ in the sense of being immature or inexperienced. Additionally, it may be a habitational name from any of many place named with this word, Zielin, Zielenec, Zielince, etc. It is also well established as a surname in Germany.
Jewish (from Poland): habitational name for someone from places in Poland called Zielona or Zielonka; the place name derives from a root meaning ‘green’.


Andrew
English form of the Greek name Andreas, short form of any of various compound names with the first element andr- man or, in particular, warrior. In the New Testament, this is the name of the first disciple to be called by Jesus. After the Resurrection, St Andrew preached in Asia Minor and Greece, and was probably crucified at Patras in Achaia. He was one of the most popular saints of the Middle Ages and was adopted as the patron of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. The name has long been popular in Scotland (in the Lowlands traditionally in the form Andra); its popularity in England has been enhanced by its use as a British royal name for Prince Andrew (b. 1960), the Duke of York.


I guess that means I'm a green/herb warrior. Weed Warrior!
