The history of the last name Siuta

The surname SIUTA has its origins in Poland, and is believed to have first emerged in the 14th century. It is thought to be derived from the Polish word "siuta," which means "rough" or "coarse." This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a nickname to someone with a brash or uncouth personality.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the SIUTA name can be found in the records of the town of Krakow, where a certain Jan Siuta is mentioned in a document dated 1387. This provides evidence that the name was already in use by that time.

In the 16th century, the SIUTA name appeared in the records of the village of Nowy Sącz, where a family bearing this surname owned a small parcel of land. It is possible that this family played a role in the further dissemination of the name throughout the region.

A notable figure from history who bore the SIUTA surname was Andrzej Siuta (1573-1648), a Polish nobleman and military commander who fought in the Polish-Swedish wars of the early 17th century. He was renowned for his bravery and tactical skill on the battlefield.

Another prominent individual with this surname was Katarzyna Siuta (1698-1782), a renowned herbalist and midwife who practiced in the town of Sandomierz. Her knowledge of medicinal plants and traditional remedies was highly respected in her community.

In the 19th century, the SIUTA name was carried by Józef Siuta (1815-1893), a Polish scholar and linguist who made significant contributions to the study of the Slavic languages. He authored several influential works on the subject.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the SIUTA surname made its way to the United States, with immigrants from Poland settling in cities like Chicago and Milwaukee. One notable American with this surname was Stanisław Siuta (1878-1952), a prominent Polish-American businessman and philanthropist in Chicago.
