The history of the last name Ciecierski

The surname Ciecierski is of Polish origin, traced back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of Masovia, which was part of the historic Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The name is derived from the Polish word "ciecierz," meaning a type of chickpea or vetch, a leguminous crop cultivated in that area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in the Metryka Koronna, a collection of records from the Chancery of the Crown of the Polish Kingdom, dating back to the late 16th century. The name is also found in various parish records and land deeds from the 17th and 18th centuries in the Masovian region.

In the 19th century, the surname Ciecierski was associated with several notable individuals. Jan Ciecierski (1818-1889) was a Polish writer and journalist who published works on history and literature. Another notable bearer was Józef Ciecierski (1825-1896), a Polish physicist and professor at the University of Warsaw.

The Ciecierski name can also be found in historical records from other parts of Eastern Europe, such as Belarus and Lithuania, likely due to the migration of Polish settlers in those regions during the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with this surname was Maciej Ciecierski, a landowner mentioned in a land deed from the village of Glinki in Masovia, dated 1612. Another early record is that of Marcin Ciecierski, a Polish nobleman whose name appears in the Metryka Koronna in 1587.

In the 20th century, Stanisław Ciecierski (1901-1976) was a Polish military officer who served in World War II and later became a historian and author of several books on military history. Another notable figure was Tadeusz Ciecierski (1889-1967), a Polish engineer and inventor who patented several designs for aircraft and industrial machinery.

While the name Ciecierski is predominantly found in Poland and among the Polish diaspora, it has also been documented in other parts of Central and Eastern Europe due to historical migrations and cultural exchanges within the region.
