The surname MACIEJKO originated in Poland, with its earliest recorded use dating back to the 16th century. It is derived from the Polish first name Maciej, which is the Polish equivalent of the name Matthew. The suffix "-ko" in the surname indicates a diminutive form, suggesting that it may have initially referred to someone who was the son or descendant of someone named Maciej.

One of the earliest known references to the surname MACIEJKO can be found in the records of the Lublin region of Poland, where it was mentioned in a document from the late 16th century. At that time, the name was often spelled as "Macieyko" or "Macieko," reflecting the variations in spelling that were common in historical records.

In the 17th century, the MACIEJKO surname appeared in various parish records and legal documents throughout central and eastern Poland. Some of these records mention individuals with this surname residing in villages or towns such as Kielce, Radom, and Sandomierz.

Another historically significant figure was Stanisław MACIEJKO, a Polish military officer who fought in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's wars against Sweden and Russia in the mid-17th century. He is mentioned in several accounts of battles and military campaigns from that era.
