KOTOWSKI, KUTOWSKI
Surnames derive from one of many different origins. Sometimes there may be more than one explanation for the same name. This family name is a toponymic (derived from a geographic name of a town, city, region or country). Surnames that are based on place names do not always testify to direct origin from that place, but may indicate an indirect relation between the name-bearer or his ancestors and the place, such as birth place, temporary residence, trade, or family-relatives.
The surname Kotowski, in which the Polish suffix “-ski” means “of/from”, is associated with Kutow/Kuty in Galicia; with Kotowice/Kottwitz in Silesia; with Kotowsk in Russia; or with Kotovskoye in Bessarabia. In the 20th century, Kotowski is recorded as a Jewish family name with Franz Kotowski of Berlin, Germany, who disappeared in the German death camp at Auschwitz during World War II.

Thank you for you comment, lovely to meet a possible cousin
I have always suspected our family on my mother’s side had more eastern roots than we were told and a recent AncestryDNA test more or less confirmed it. My uncle always claimed that the surname was changed from Kuta to Cuta by a customs officer and used that former/original spelling his whole life. I didn’t find any linkage in your thoughtfully provided tree, but I think I am finally in the right area of the world if I am ever to uncover more. Thank you sincerely for your efforts!
