Krzyzewski is a polish (westprussia) name.
Krzyz means "croos" and ewski means "from" - so Krzyzewski means from a town named Krzyz.
The ending ski is also part of a lot of polish nobility names.

oh, sorry - a spelling mistake:
Krzyz means "cross" an Krzyze is the plural ("crosses"). So there are two possible explanations: A person from a town (or a estate) named Krzyz, or a nobleman or baron named Krzyze
a person, born in Krzyz
or
Baron of Krzyze
or
