The history of the last name Miloser

The surname MILOSER is believed to have originated in the region of Silesia, which is now part of modern-day Poland and Germany. It likely dates back to the 13th or 14th century. The name is thought to be derived from the Slavic word "milos," meaning "grace" or "mercy," combined with the suffix "-er," indicating a person or someone associated with a particular trait or occupation.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the MILOSER name can be found in a 16th-century manuscript from the town of Wrocław, where a certain Hans Miloser is listed as a landowner. In the same century, there are records of a family by the name of Miloser residing in the village of Kluczbork, near the city of Opole.

During the 17th century, the MILOSER name appears in various church records and tax registers across Silesia. Notably, a Johann Miloser (1612-1689) was a prominent craftsman and guild member in the town of Legnica, known for his intricate woodcarvings and furniture-making skills.

In the 18th century, a Gottfried Miloser (1734-1812) gained recognition as a respected educator and headmaster in the city of Breslau (now Wrocław). His teachings and educational philosophy were widely praised and influenced many scholars of the time.

Moving into the 19th century, the MILOSER name gained further prominence with the birth of the renowned artist and painter, Karl Miloser (1821-1899). Born in Breslau, his landscape paintings and portraiture were widely acclaimed, and many of his works can be found in galleries across Europe.

Another notable figure with the MILOSER surname was Elise Miloser (1876-1944), a pioneering female archaeologist who made significant contributions to the study of ancient Roman settlements in Silesia. Her research and excavations shed light on the region's rich cultural heritage and historical significance.

While the MILOSER name has its roots in Silesia, it has since spread to other parts of Europe and beyond, as families migrated and settled in different regions over the centuries. However, its origins can be traced back to the Slavic-speaking regions of what is now Poland and Germany, where it first emerged as a distinctive surname several centuries ago.
