The history of the last name Kuklok

The surname KUKLOK is believed to have originated in the Czech Republic during the late 15th century. It is thought to be derived from the Czech word "kuklík," which means "hooded cloak" or "hooded mantle." This suggests that the name may have been a descriptive nickname given to someone who wore a distinctive hooded cloak or mantle.

The earliest known recorded instance of the surname KUKLOK dates back to 1492, when a man named Jan KUKLOK was mentioned in a registry of land ownership in the village of Lipnice, located in the region of Moravia. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the area at that time.

In the 16th century, the name KUKLOK appears to have spread to other parts of the Czech lands, as well as neighboring regions such as Silesia (now part of Poland) and Lusatia (now part of Germany). Records from this period show variations in the spelling of the name, including KUKLAK, KUKLEK, and KUKLYK.

In the 18th century, a man named Jakub KUKLOK (1710-1782) was a prominent merchant and landowner in the town of Frýdek (now part of the Czech Republic). He was known for his involvement in the local community and his support of various charitable causes.

Another individual of note was Václav KUKLOK (1832-1891), a Czech writer and journalist who was active in the Czech National Revival movement. He was born in the town of Třebíč and is best known for his contributions to various literary journals and his advocacy for the preservation of Czech language and culture.

In the 20th century, the name KUKLOK gained some recognition through the work of Miroslav KUKLOK (1919-1997), a Czech painter and illustrator. He was born in Prague and is celebrated for his vibrant and imaginative artworks, many of which depicted scenes from Czech folklore and mythology.
