Europe / Re: Immigrant from Russian Poland

Hello ZooLew and GoldieLox, I know I am late to the game, but I also have an interest in a Lewis family from Lipno. My Lewis family began immigrating to America in the 1870s and completed its immigration by 1892. I suspect that the original surname was not Lewis and I have been told that Lewis is probably an anglicized name. Would you have knowledge as to the original surname?
By the way, the original Lewis in my family to come to America was Jacob (Yitzak Yacov ben Abram Zvi) who was born around 1856 in Lipno. His older two sons, Morris and Myer, were born in Lipno around 1873 and 1876.
Iwouldappreciate any help you can provide.
