A Polish dictionary explains the word rozwód as meaning "divorce" or "annulment(of marriage)". The surname Rozwód is found in Poland, as is the rarer Rozwoda, and the even rarer Rozwod (different pronunciation). But can it mean "divorce"? I'm not convinced. I'm wondering if it might have started out as something else that was close in sound to rozwód. Maybe it was German.
