The history of the last name Nabozny

The surname Nabozny originates from Poland, with its earliest recorded examples dating back to the 16th century. It is derived from the Polish word "nabozny," which means "pious" or "devout." This suggests that the name was likely given to individuals who were highly religious or associated with the church or clergy.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Nabozny surname appeared in various records and documents throughout Poland, particularly in regions such as Wielkopolska and Mazowsze. Some of the earliest known bearers of this name include Jan Nabozny, a landowner in the village of Oporów in the late 16th century, and Marcin Nabozny, a merchant from Kraków who was mentioned in city records from the early 17th century.

During the 18th century, the Nabozny surname began to spread beyond Poland's borders as a result of migration and population movements. Records show individuals with this surname settling in neighboring countries like Belarus and Lithuania, as well as in more distant regions like Siberia and Ukraine.

One notable bearer of the Nabozny surname was Stanisław Nabozny, a Polish nobleman and military commander who lived in the late 17th century. He played a significant role in defending the city of Lviv (now part of Ukraine) against Ottoman Turkish forces during the Siege of Lviv in 1672-1673.

Another individual of historical importance was Józef Nabozny, a Polish priest and theologian who lived in the 18th century. He was a well-respected scholar and author, known for his work on moral theology and his contributions to the intellectual life of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

In the 19th century, the Nabozny surname continued to be present in various parts of Eastern Europe, with notable bearers including Mikołaj Nabozny, a Polish politician and landowner from the Lublin region, and Iwan Nabozny, a Belarusian peasant who played a role in the January Uprising against Russian rule in 1863-1864.
