The history of the last name Dubisar

The surname DUBISAR is believed to have its origins in the Czech Republic, dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to have derived from the Czech words "dub" meaning oak and "sar" meaning ruler or leader, possibly referring to someone who lived near an oak forest or had authority over an oak-covered region.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in a land registry document from the town of Litomerice in 1587, where a farmer named Jan DUBISAR is listed as owning a parcel of land near the banks of the Elbe River. The name is also found in various church records from the same region during the late 1500s and early 1600s.

In the 17th century, the name DUBISAR seems to have spread to other parts of what is now the Czech Republic, with records showing individuals bearing the name in cities like Prague and Brno. One notable figure from this time was Karel DUBISAR, a wealthy merchant born in 1642 who was known for his philanthropic efforts in supporting local schools and churches.

As the DUBISAR family grew and expanded throughout the centuries, some members adopted slightly different spellings of the name, such as DUBISSAR or DUBISCHAR, likely due to regional variations in pronunciation and record-keeping practices.
