The history of the last name Radziewicz

The surname Radziewicz originates from Poland, with its roots dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old Polish word "radzić," which means "to advise" or "to counsel." The suffix "-icz" was commonly added to Polish surnames, indicating the son or descendant of someone.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Radziewicz name can be traced back to the Polish town of Radziejowice, located near the city of Krakow. This town's name is likely connected to the surname's origin, as it may have referred to someone who resided there or had some association with the area.

In the 18th century, the Radziewicz surname appeared in various historical records and documents from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. For example, Jan Radziewicz (1673-1737) was a prominent Polish nobleman and military commander who played a significant role in the Great Northern War against Sweden.

Another notable figure with the Radziewicz surname was Marcin Radziewicz (1801-1882), a Polish writer, and poet who contributed to the development of Polish literature during the Romantic period. His works often reflected themes of patriotism and national identity.

During the 19th century, the Radziewicz name was also found in the records of the Russian Empire, as many Poles were forcibly relocated or fled to Russia due to political upheavals and conflicts. One such individual was Kazimierz Radziewicz (1854-1919), a Polish engineer and architect who worked on several notable projects in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

In the 20th century, Walery Radziewicz (1905-1992) was a Polish-American sculptor and artist who gained recognition for his works in both Poland and the United States. He is particularly known for his monumental sculptures and public art installations.

Furthermore, the Radziewicz surname has been associated with various place names and their older spellings throughout history. For example, the village of Radziewice in eastern Poland was once referred to as "Radziewicze" or "Radziewiczowie" in historical documents.
