Origin
Meaning and origin of Jeziorowski
The surname Jeziorowski originated in Poland, with earliest records dating back to the 13th century. It is derived from the Polish word "jezioro" meaning "lake" and the suffix "-owski" denoting a place of origin. This suggests that the name likely referred to someone who lived near or came from a place with a lake.
The name appears to have roots in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region of central Poland, where many villages and towns were named after nearby bodies of water. Some of the earliest known spellings include Jeziorowsky, Jeziorovsky, and Ieziorowsky.
Historical references to the name Jeziorowski can be found in various Polish records and manuscripts from the medieval period onwards. One notable example is a land deed from 1412 mentioning a certain Jan Jeziorowski, a landowner in the village of Jeziorzany.
In the 16th century, there are records of a Maciej Jeziorowski, a nobleman and military commander who fought in the Polish-Muscovite War of 1577-1582. Another early bearer of the name was Marcin Jeziorowski, a scholar and rector of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, who lived from 1590 to 1654.
During the 17th century, the name Jeziorowski gained prominence with the rise of the Jeziorowski family, a wealthy and influential noble clan from the Bydgoszcz region. One of their most notable members was Jan Stanisław Jeziorowski (1670-1736), a politician and diplomat who served as the Grand Marshal of the Crown.
Another significant figure was Józef Jeziorowski (1724-1794), a military officer and participant in the Kościuszko Uprising against Russian rule. He was captured and executed by the Russians in 1794.
In more recent times, notable individuals with the surname Jeziorowski include Stanisław Jeziorowski (1871-1951), a Polish painter and art critic, and Tadeusz Jeziorowski (1915-1992), a Polish actor and film director.

When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
