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"

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
