The history of the last name Krolicki

The surname Krolicki has its origins in Poland, dating back to the medieval period. It is derived from the Polish word "krolik," which translates to "rabbit" or "hare." This suggests that the name may have initially been given as a descriptive nickname or occupational name for someone who worked with rabbits or traded in rabbit furs.

The Krolicki surname first appeared in historical records in the 14th century, particularly in the regions of Greater Poland and Silesia. It is believed to have originated as a locative name, referring to a person from a specific place or village named after rabbits or hares.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Krolicki name can be found in the Teki Dworzaczka, a collection of historical documents from the 16th century. This collection includes references to individuals with the surname Krolicki, indicating their presence in various parts of Poland during that time period.

In the 17th century, the name Krolicki was associated with several notable figures. Jan Krolicki (1615-1675) was a Polish nobleman and military commander who fought in the Swedish-Polish wars. Another prominent individual was Andrzej Krolicki (1662-1730), a Polish priest and theologian who authored several religious texts.

During the 18th century, the Krolicki surname continued to be found in various regions of Poland. One example is Franciszek Krolicki (1718-1802), a Polish landowner and local official who served as a mayor in the town of Kalisz.

In the 19th century, the Krolicki name gained further recognition with the birth of Józef Krolicki (1826-1895), a Polish lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Austro-Hungarian parliament. Another notable figure was Stanisław Krolicki (1858-1924), a Polish engineer and inventor who contributed to the development of early aviation technology.
