The data under examinationhave been retrieved during the years 2016-2017 from paper and electronic editionsof Polish newspapers and magazines, including online commentaries and opinionsof their readers. It is claimed that best documented and most frequent uses of the nameMisiewicz/e [SG./PL.] exhibit a paragonic sense.
