The history of the last name Noworyta

The surname NOWORYTA is of Polish origin, originating in the late 15th or early 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the regions of Silesia and Małopolska, areas that were part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time. The name is thought to be derived from the Polish word "nowory," meaning "new" or "newly established," and the suffix "-yta," indicating a place of origin or residence.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the NOWORYTA name can be found in the census records of the village of Nowa Wieś (meaning "new village" in Polish) in the Małopolska region, dating back to the early 16th century. This suggests that the name may have originated from a person or family who resided in or near this village.
