The history of the last name Bebko

The surname Bebko is of Polish origin, with its roots traced back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated from the Małopolska region of southern Poland, particularly in the areas around the city of Kraków.

One of the earliest known references to the name Bebko can be found in the parish records of the village of Kocmyrzów, near Kraków, dating back to the late 1500s. The name is thought to have derived from the Polish word "beb," which means "a small, round object" or "a pebble," possibly indicating a connection to an occupation or a physical characteristic.

In the 17th century, the name Bebko appeared in various historical documents, such as tax records and land registries, in the regions surrounding Kraków and the nearby towns of Tarnów and Rzeszów. This suggests that the name had spread and become more widespread during this period.

One notable bearer of the Bebko surname was Jan Bebko, a Polish soldier who fought in the Kościuszko Uprising against the Russian Empire in 1794. He was born in the village of Skawina, near Kraków, in 1768 and died in battle in 1794.

Another historical figure with the Bebko surname was Jakub Bebko, a prominent merchant and landowner from the town of Brzesko, near Tarnów. He lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and was known for his successful trading ventures and philanthropic efforts in the local community.

In the 19th century, the Bebko surname continued to be present in various regions of southern Poland, with some families migrating to other parts of the country or even abroad. One example is Tomasz Bebko, a Polish immigrant who settled in the United States in the late 1800s and became a successful farmer in the state of Wisconsin.

Other notable individuals with the Bebko surname include Józef Bebko, a Polish writer and poet born in 1876 in the village of Janowice, near Tarnów, and Stanisław Bebko, a Polish architect who lived in the early 20th century and designed several notable buildings in the city of Kraków.

While the Bebko surname may have evolved and spread to different parts of the world over time, its roots can be traced back to the historic regions of southern Poland, where it first emerged and gained prominence among the local population.
