The history of the last name Jodlowski

The surname Jodlowski is of Polish origin, originating from the village of Jodlowka in the Krakow region of southern Poland. The name likely dates back to the late 15th or early 16th century and is derived from the Polish word "jodla," meaning fir or spruce tree. This suggests that the earliest bearers of the name may have lived near or worked in an area known for its fir trees.

One of the earliest recorded references to the name can be found in the parish records of the village of Jodlowka from the late 16th century, where several families with the surname Jodlowski are documented. The name appears to have spread beyond the Krakow region in the following centuries, with various spellings such as Jodlowski, Jodlowsky, and Jodlowskie appearing in different parts of Poland.

In the 18th century, a notable bearer of the name was Marcin Jodlowski (1730-1805), a Polish painter and architect who designed several churches and public buildings in the Krakow area. Another prominent individual with this surname was Stanislaw Jodlowski (1832-1901), a Polish politician and writer who served as a member of the Prussian Parliament in the late 19th century.

The name Jodlowski also appeared in the records of Polish immigrants to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One such individual was Franciszek Jodlowski (1865-1932), who settled in Chicago and worked as a carpenter and woodworker.

In the early 20th century, the Polish-born writer and journalist Jan Jodlowski (1890-1956) achieved recognition for his works on Polish history and culture, which he wrote while living in exile in France and the United Kingdom.

Another notable bearer of the name was Tadeusz Jodlowski (1917-1995), a Polish engineer and inventor who played a significant role in the development of early computer technology in Poland after World War II.
