I know from family trees, anecdotes of my family and (auto) biographical writings about eg. in the 19 Century famous German-Jewish writer Fanny Lewald-Stahr, I learned as I know the last name was Lewandowski in the early 19th Century by almost all descendants of the patriarch David Wehle assumed as most members of the then Jewish family were baptized. (The Eastern European native, Jewish boatmen Wehle was in the 18th century in Wehlau-time 'Wehle' - down to the Pregel at Königsberg and was, according to village register the name of his new home as a last name later descendants were called 'Mark'. before they took the name Lewallen in the course of the rapid pace of assimilation and intermarriage through baptism in the Christian middle class of Prussia). Aware of the Aryan-sounding 'code name' Lewald was an invention that should perhaps deliberately reminiscent of the similar name (Lehwald) a Christian-aristocratic family. In my branch of the family my father heard before 2 World War II, when they were unwillingly to his Jewish origins, recalled a different version: be after 'Lewandowski' a corruption of the old German name 'Schlehenwald' been.
