The history of the last name Abramczyk

The surname ABRAMCZYK is of Polish origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period in the region of Poland. It is derived from the Slavic personal name "Abram," which itself is a derivative of the Biblical name "Abraham." The suffix "-czyk" is a common Polish patronymic ending, indicating the name is a patronym, meaning it was originally formed from a father's given name.

The earliest known recorded instances of the ABRAMCZYK surname can be found in historical documents from the 16th and 17th centuries in various regions of Poland. These include church records, land registers, and census records from that time period. The name was particularly prevalent in the regions of Greater Poland, Masovia, and Silesia.

One of the earliest known individuals bearing the ABRAMCZYK surname was Jan Abramczyk, a landowner and farmer who lived in the village of Kościelna Wieś, near Kalisz, in the late 16th century. Records show that he was born around 1550 and died in 1612.
