Dear michellereiko-ga,

According to the Dictionary of American Family Names quoted on
ancestry.com, it is Polish.

"Last Name: Iwanski

   1. Polish (Iwan'ski): habitational name for someone from Iwanie
(now Iwonie) in Sieradz voivodeship, a place named from the personal
name Iwan.

Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4"
http://www.ancestry.com/search/SurnamePage.aspx?html=b&ln=Iwanski&sourcecode=13304

By coincidence, Edmund Iwanski, is president of the Polish
Genealogical Society of America.

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you

I would say not.  Sounds Slavic to me.
