Lewinski family
The Lewinski family is a Polish Noble family of Pomerelian–Kashubian descent.
The family was originally called Royk. Under Polish rule, it took the name of its long-standing possession Lewyn (today known as Lewino), for which the Polish King Sigismund I had confirmed a hereditary noble possession to Jacob Royk in 1526:
"The privilege was given to the noble [...] heirs of James of the town of Lewyn in the land of Pomerania and the district of Mirochov"
– Crown register No. 42 p. 125 from July 28, 1526, "The privilege of the nobles over the goods of Lewyn".
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the family bore the name von Royk Lewinski. The last of his family, Andreas Royk, is mentioned in 1662 as a taxpayer in Lewino. While one of his two sons settled in Kositzkowo, and his descendants can be traced there until the 20th century, the other son and his descendants lived on further property in Łebno and later in Tockar, Kreis Karthaus/West Prussia. The last of this branch of the family, born in Dargelow in 1747, left Kashubia and entered Prussian service. At the beginning of the 18th century, only the name Lewinski appears in the documents.
In the 1970s, a City University of New York political science professor, Anne Armstrong, who was known as the Baroness von Royk-Lewinski, ran in the Republican primary in Bergen County, New Jersey.
The family's coat of arms are red with a silver lion holding a sword in its forepaws. On the helmet with red and silver covers are three ostrich feathers (red, silver, red).
