Golab is Polish, Slavic in Origin.
Golab is an ASCII spelling of Polish Gołąb, a surname built directly from the common noun gołąb, pigeon or dove. The word belongs to the West Slavic Polish lexicon and continues Proto-Slavic *golǫbь, with the nasal vowel ą and final b reflected in the Polish spelling; the oblique stem appears as gołębi-. As a name, the earliest recoverable form is the Polish appellative Gołąb, literally a pigeon or dove, rather than a separate occupational term. The diminutive Gołąbek adds the Polish suffix -ek, yielding little dove.
Polish surnames of this type arose from nicknames, occupations, or house signs, so Gołąb could identify someone associated with pigeons or with a dove emblem. Emigration often stripped the diacritic, producing Golab in English-language records; Golomb and Golub reflect other Slavic or transliterated spellings. In the United States it remains a rare surname rather than an established given name.
