The history of the last name Mazyck

The surname Mazyck has its origins in France, where it was derived from the Old French word 'mazic', meaning 'pale' or 'sickly'. It is believed to have originated in the 16th century.

The Mazyck name first appeared in records from the Normandy region of northern France. Some of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in parish registers and census records from towns such as Rouen and Caen.

In the late 17th century, the Mazyck name began to appear in American colonial records, particularly in South Carolina. This was likely due to the influx of French Huguenot settlers fleeing religious persecution in France. Jean Mazyck, born in 1687, is one of the earliest recorded individuals with this surname in America.

The Mazyck family became prominent landowners and plantation owners in South Carolina during the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable members include Isaac Mazyck (1725-1781), a merchant and planter, and Paul Mazyck (1779-1846), a politician who served as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives.

Another prominent figure with the Mazyck surname was Walter Mazyck (1825-1891), a Confederate officer during the American Civil War. He served as a brigadier general in the Army of Northern Virginia and was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg.

In England, the Mazyck surname can be traced back to the late 18th century. One early record is of William Mazyck, born in London in 1772. The name also appears in records from the county of Norfolk, where it may have been an anglicized version of the French surname.

Other notable individuals with the Mazyck surname include Robert Mazyck (1808-1868), an American lawyer and politician from South Carolina, and Alfred Mazyck (1806-1888), a Scottish-American merchant and banker who lived in Charleston, South Carolina.
