The surname MARDEUSZ appears to have originated from Poland in the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance period. It may be derived from the Polish root word "marz," meaning "to dream," or possibly from an older Slavic word related to "mrzec," meaning "to stare" or "to gaze." The name could have been given to someone who was known for daydreaming or staring off into the distance.

Another early example was Jakub Mardeusz (c. 1570-1642), a merchant and landowner from the town of Piotrkow Trybunalski. Records show that he owned several estates and businesses in the region.

In the 17th century, the name appeared in the town of Sandomierz, where a Marcin Mardeusz (1621-1697) was a respected lawyer and judge. He served on the local judiciary and was known for his fair rulings and adherence to the law.

A more famous bearer of the MARDEUSZ name was Karol Mardeusz (1744-1824), a Polish military officer who fought in the Kosciuszko Uprising against Russian and Prussian forces in the late 18th century.
