The history of the last name Miranowski

The surname Miranowski is of Polish origin, with its roots tracing back to the late 16th century. It is believed to have originated from the small village of Miranów, located in the Masovian Voivodeship region of central Poland. The name itself is derived from the Old Polish word "mira," meaning peace or tranquility, suggesting that the earliest bearers of this surname may have hailed from a peaceful or serene settlement.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Miranowski name can be found in the parish records of the village of Miranów, dated back to 1598. These records document the birth of a child named Jakub Miranowski, son of a local farmer named Maciej. This entry provides valuable insight into the prevalence of the surname within the area during that era.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the Miranowski name appeared sporadically in various historical records and documents across the Polish territories. Notable mentions include a reference to a nobleman named Zygmunt Miranowski in the court records of the city of Kraków in 1649, as well as a merchant named Jan Miranowski documented in the trade records of the city of Gdańsk in 1723.
