Some Polish people, (especially ones from the North) have Scottish ancestry and Scottish surnames, as in the 1500s, many Scottish Calvinist fled Scotland to Poland (the area of Gdansk), since Poland, at the time, granted asylum to those persecuted for their religions, (hence is why they had a really large Jewish population at one time). The Scots eventually assimilated though, but some of their surnames names prevailed.
I am wondering if Bell comes from a Scottish Calvinist who fled to Poland.
I know some Poles, (from Poland) with surnames like Bricks and Dunbarr, Scottish surnames.
