The history of the last name Jamrog

The surname Jamrog has its origins in Poland, tracing back to the 16th century. It is believed to be a locational name derived from the Polish village of Jamrogi, located in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The name itself is thought to have evolved from the Slavic word "jamrog," which means "small valley" or "ravine."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Jamrog can be found in the parish records of the village of Jamrogi, dating back to the late 16th century. These records document the presence of families bearing this surname in the region during that time period.

In the 17th century, the name Jamrog appeared in various historical documents and records across Poland. For instance, in 1642, a certain Jan Jamrog was mentioned in a court document from the town of Toruń, located in northern Poland.

During the 19th century, the Jamrog name was also found in other parts of Europe, likely due to migration and resettlement. One such example is Ignacy Jamrog (1829-1901), a Polish-born sculptor who spent much of his career in Austria and created several notable works of art.

Entering the 20th century, Kazimierz Jamrog (1901-1978) was a Polish military officer who served in the Polish Army during World War II and later became a respected historian and author, publishing several books on military history.
