The history of the last name Juza

The surname Juza originated in Poland in the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Polish word "juza," which means "already" or "anymore." The name likely originated as a nickname for someone who frequently used this phrase.

In the early 13th century, records show a man named Mikołaj Juza living in the village of Łęczyca, located in central Poland. This is one of the earliest documented instances of the surname Juza.

During the medieval period, the name appeared in various Polish chronicles and manuscripts, often referring to members of the nobility or landed gentry. For example, a Piotr Juza is mentioned in a 1387 document from the town of Sandomierz.

One of the earliest known bearers of the Juza surname was Jan Juza, born around 1460 in the town of Kraków. He was a prominent merchant and landowner, and his descendants continued to use the Juza name for several generations.

In the 16th century, a branch of the Juza family settled in the town of Tarnów, where they became influential members of the local community. Marcin Juza, born in 1534, served as a town councilor and was known for his philanthropy.

Another notable Juza was Katarzyna Juza, born in 1602 in the village of Nowy Sącz. She was a renowned herbalist and midwife, and her knowledge of traditional medicine was widely respected throughout the region.

As the Juza family spread across Poland over the centuries, the name underwent various spelling variations, including Jusza, Jusze, and Jusza. Some branches of the family also adopted different Polish patronymics, such as Juzowski or Juzowicz.

The surname Juza has also been found in other Slavic countries, likely due to migration and intermarriage with Polish families. However, its origins can be traced back to the historical regions of Poland.
