The history of the last name Lasick

The surname Lasick is believed to have originated in Poland, where it was likely derived from the Polish word "las," meaning "forest." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near or worked in a forested area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the 16th-century Polish census records, where it was spelled "Lasicki." This variation suggests that the name may have initially been a patronymic, meaning it was formed by adding the suffix "-icki" to the word "las," indicating that the person was the son or descendant of someone associated with a forest.

During the 18th century, the name appears to have spread to other parts of Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Belarus. In these regions, the name was sometimes spelled as "Lasitskiy" or "Lasyckiy," reflecting the local linguistic variations.

Historically, the name Lasick has been associated with several notable individuals. One example is Jan Lasicki, a 16th-century Polish historian and writer who authored several works on the history and geography of Poland. Another notable bearer of the name was Michal Lasicki, a 17th-century Polish noble and military commander who fought in the Polish-Swedish War.

In the 19th century, the name Lasick began to appear in historical records outside of Eastern Europe. For instance, there are records of individuals with this surname in the United States, likely descendants of Polish immigrants who arrived during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

One notable American with the surname Lasick was William Lasick, a 19th-century politician who served as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly. Another individual of note was Stanislaw Lasick, a Polish-American artist and sculptor who was active in the early 20th century.

While the surname Lasick is relatively uncommon globally, it continues to be found in various parts of the world, particularly among individuals with Polish or Eastern European ancestry.
