The history of the last name Rosinski

The surname ROSINSKI is of Polish origin, derived from the Polish word "rosić," meaning "to sprinkle" or "to spread." It is likely that the name originally referred to an occupation or trade related to gardening, farming, or some form of agriculture.

The ROSINSKI surname can be traced back to the 16th century in various regions of Poland, particularly in the areas around Krakow and Poznan. Historical records from this period show variations in spelling, such as ROSINSKY, ROSINSKIE, and ROSIŃSKI.

One of the earliest known references to the ROSINSKI name is found in a manuscript dating back to 1587, which mentions a landowner named Jan ROSINSKI in the village of Stare Bystre, near Krakow. This document suggests that the ROSINSKI family had already established itself as a respected lineage in the region.

Another notable figure with the ROSINSKI surname was Marcin ROSINSKI, a scholar and writer who lived from 1621 to 1694. He authored several works on philosophy and theology, and his writings were widely circulated throughout Europe during the 17th century.

In the 19th century, the ROSINSKI name gained prominence with the birth of Józef ROSINSKI (1800-1876), a prominent Polish painter known for his landscapes and historical scenes. His works can be found in various museums across Poland and Europe.

During the same period, Ignacy ROSINSKI (1810-1887) was a renowned Polish composer and pianist. He is particularly celebrated for his piano concertos and chamber music compositions, which helped establish Polish classical music on the international stage.

Another significant figure in Polish history was Henryk ROSINSKI (1866-1932), a military officer who played a crucial role in the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1921. He is remembered as a skilled strategist and a hero of the Battle of Warsaw, which halted the Bolshevik advance into Europe.
