Written and researched by Margaret Odrowaz Sypniewski

SYPNIEWSKI is the 49,120th most popular surname in the United States. It's frequency is rated at 0.000%, percentile is 85.785 (source CBN)

With that in mind, it seems like the Sypniewskis are a rare bunch. However, many have achieved more than their "20 minutes of fame," as coined by Andy Warhol.
