The history of the last name Sosin

The surname SOSIN has its origins in Poland, and can be traced back to the 16th century. It is believed to be derived from the Polish word "sosna," meaning "pine tree," suggesting that the name may have originated from someone living near a pine forest or working with pine trees.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the SOSIN name can be found in the Polish town of Krakow, where a record from 1587 mentions a person named Jan SOSIN. This document suggests that the name was already well-established in the region at that time.

Another early reference to the SOSIN surname can be found in the town of Poznan, where a record from 1612 mentions a person named Marcin SOSIN. This record provides evidence that the name had spread to other parts of Poland by the early 17th century.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the SOSIN name became more prominent in various regions of Poland. One notable individual from this period was Jakub SOSIN (1660-1732), a Polish Catholic priest and theologian who wrote several influential works on religious philosophy.

In the 19th century, the SOSIN name continued to be well-represented in Poland. One of the most famous individuals with this surname was Władysław SOSIN (1832-1902), a Polish painter and artist who specialized in landscape and genre paintings.

As Polish immigration to other parts of the world increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the SOSIN surname began to appear in other countries as well. One prominent example is Józef SOSIN (1889-1954), a Polish-American architect who designed several notable buildings in Chicago and other parts of the United States.

While the SOSIN name has its roots in Poland, it has since spread to various parts of the world, with notable individuals bearing this surname in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
