The history of the last name Hawryluk

The surname HAWRYLUK is of Ukrainian origin and traces its roots back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the western regions of modern-day Ukraine, particularly in areas such as Galicia and Volhynia. The name is derived from the Ukrainian personal name "Havrylo," which is a variant of the Greek name "Gabriel" meaning "God is my strength."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the HAWRYLUK surname can be found in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's tax registers, known as the "Revizja Kazimierzowska," from the late 16th century. These records document individuals with the surname residing in various villages and towns within the territory that now encompasses western Ukraine.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the HAWRYLUK name appeared in various church records and land registries in the region. Notable individuals bearing this surname during this period include Iwan HAWRYLUK, a prominent landowner and community leader in the village of Zhytomyr, who lived from 1695 to 1762.

As the Ukrainian diaspora spread across Europe and beyond in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the HAWRYLUK surname became more widely dispersed. One notable figure was Petro HAWRYLUK, a Ukrainian poet and writer born in 1858 in the village of Khodoriv, near Lviv. His works played a significant role in preserving and promoting Ukrainian culture during the tumultuous times of the late 19th century.

Another individual of historical significance was Oleksandr HAWRYLUK, a renowned Ukrainian archaeologist and historian who lived from 1875 to 1948. He made significant contributions to the study of ancient civilizations in the region and authored several influential works on the subject.

In the 20th century, Mykola HAWRYLUK, born in 1892 in the town of Ternopil, gained recognition as a prominent Ukrainian politician and statesman. He served as a member of the Ukrainian National Council and played a crucial role in the struggle for Ukrainian independence during the turbulent years following World War I.

It is worth noting that the HAWRYLUK surname has also been subject to various spellings and variations over the centuries, such as HAWRYLIUK, HAWRYLUK, and HAWRYLUK, due to regional linguistic differences and the influence of other languages in the areas where Ukrainian communities resided.
