Origin
Meaning and origin of Stubleski
The surname "STUBLESKI" is of Polish origin, with its roots tracing back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated from the Polish word "stubla," which means "a small wooden container" or "a trough." This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with someone who worked with or produced these containers.
One of the earliest known records of the name "STUBLESKI" can be found in the parish records of the village of Brzesko, located in the Lesser Poland region, dating back to the late 1500s. The name appeared in various spellings, such as "Stubleski," "Stubielski," and "Stublieski," reflecting the phonetic variations common in that era.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the name gained prominence in the Galicia region, which was then part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Notable individuals bearing the "STUBLESKI" surname from this period include Marcin Stubleski (1632-1701), a respected landowner and military officer who fought in the Polish-Swedish wars.
As the name spread across Poland, it also found its way into other regions, including the Russian Empire. In the 19th century, Andrzej Stubleski (1818-1892) was a prominent lawyer and political activist who advocated for Polish independence during the partitions of Poland.
The name "STUBLESKI" also has connections to the Czech Republic, where it is believed to have been introduced by Polish settlers in the 16th and 17th centuries. One notable figure was Jan Stubleski (1756-1832), a Czech-born artist and painter who gained recognition for his religious and historical paintings.
Another individual of note was Kazimierz Stubleski (1890-1965), a Polish-born engineer and inventor who lived in the United States. He was awarded several patents for his innovative designs in the field of automotive technology.
The "STUBLESKI" surname has endured through the centuries, and while its popularity may have waxed and waned in different regions, it remains a part of the rich tapestry of Polish and Slavic heritage.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Stubleski surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
