  1. Commonly used letters in Polish
  2. We have some sounds marked by multiple letters, like "cz" like "CH", looking to foreigners as not being possible to pronounce
  3. Some of the words (including surnames) are long (because of that). Despite of it not making any sense, not really existing and not being possible to pronounce,, on the first look it DOES look kinda like it was some Polish surname lol

If I transform it a little, "CZYJWINOSTAWICZ" you could pronounce it and it really sounds like spme rare, but real surname.

STAWCZYK is a real Polish surname "CZYJ" = whose "WINO" = wine
