The history of the last name Stolarik

The surname Stolarik has its origins in Central Europe, particularly in the regions of present-day Slovakia and Poland. It is derived from the Slavic root word "stol," which means "table" or "carpenter's workbench." The suffix "-arik" or "-ařík" is a diminutive form common in Slavic languages, suggesting that the name may have initially referred to someone who worked as a carpenter or woodworker.

Historically, the name can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when surnames began to emerge as a way to distinguish individuals within communities. In medieval records from the 13th and 14th centuries, variations of the name, such as "Stolarz" or "Stolarczyk," appear, indicating the occupation of the original bearers.

One of the earliest documented references to the name Stolarik can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus et Epistolaris Regni Bohemiae, a collection of medieval diplomatic documents from the Kingdom of Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic). In this text, dated around 1350, a person named "Stolarik" is mentioned as a witness to a land transaction.

In the 16th century, the name Stolarik began to spread beyond its original regions as people migrated and settled in different areas. For instance, historical records from the town of Krosno in southern Poland mention a family with the surname Stolarik residing there in the late 1500s.
