The surname Savicki is of Polish origin, with its roots dating back to the late 15th century. The name is derived from the Polish word "sawa," which means a willow tree or a type of weeping willow. This suggests that the earliest bearers of this name may have lived near willow trees or worked with willows in some capacity.

The Savicki name is most commonly associated with the regions of Mazovia and Lesser Poland, which were part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the medieval era. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in a document from the town of Radom, dated 1487, where a certain Jan Savicki is mentioned as a landowner.

In the 16th century, the Savicki surname can be found in various historical records, including tax registers and parish records from towns such as Krakow and Warsaw. During this period, the name was sometimes spelled as "Sawicki" or "Savitski," reflecting regional variations in pronunciation and spelling conventions.

One notable figure bearing the Savicki name was Andrzej Savicki, a Polish nobleman and military commander who lived in the late 16th century. He fought in the Polish-Muscovite War of 1577-1582 and is mentioned in several chronicles of the time for his bravery and leadership on the battlefield.

Another prominent individual with the Savicki surname was Józef Savicki, a Polish mathematician and astronomer who lived from 1714 to 1799. He made significant contributions to the field of celestial mechanics and served as a professor at the University of Krakow.

In the 19th century, the Savicki name gained further recognition with the birth of Karol Savicki (1818-1888), a Polish artist and illustrator known for his intricate woodcut prints and engravings. His works often depicted scenes from Polish history and folklore, and he is considered one of the most important graphic artists of his time.
