"mlot" is a big hammer, "mlotek" is a regular hammer, "mlotkowski"
would be "hammerSKI" -ski is a polish regional ending for lots of last
names: it does not have any meaning, "grammatically suggestive",makes
a word more of an adjective that noun

There is a meaning to ending on "ski". It designates a male. For a
female the ending would be "ska" (Mlotkowska). For more info see

it is a grammar thing, not meaning in the semantic sense of it: but
you are right, it is "male ending" for the name: although you would
meet polish women using male -ski ending with their surnames
