The history of the last name Kazy

The surname KAZY is believed to have originated in Poland in the 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the Polish word "kaz," which means "preacher" or "sermon." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who was a preacher or worked in a religious capacity.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name KAZY can be found in the Polish town of Kazimierz Dolny, where a family with the surname is mentioned in a church record from the late 1500s. It's possible that the name was initially associated with this particular town or region.

In the 17th century, the KAZY surname began to appear in other parts of Poland, including in the city of Krakow, where a merchant named Jakub KAZY is listed in a trade register from 1629. This suggests that the name had spread beyond its initial geographical origin and was being adopted by families in different professions.

The KAZY surname has also been found in historical records from other parts of Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Belarus. This could indicate that families with this name may have migrated or had connections to these regions over time.
