The history of the last name Sukut

The surname SUKUT has its origins in Poland. It is believed to have originated in the late 15th century or early 16th century. The name is derived from the Polish word "sukno," which means "cloth" or "fabric." This suggests that the earliest bearers of the SUKUT name may have been involved in the textile industry, such as weavers or cloth merchants.

The name SUKUT can be traced back to the town of Bydgoszcz in northern Poland, where it is thought to have first emerged. Historical records from the region indicate that the name was present in the area by the late 1500s. One of the earliest documented instances of the name can be found in a land registry from the town of Torun, dated 1612, which lists a Marcin SUKUT as a landowner.

While the SUKUT name is not particularly common, it has appeared in various historical documents and records throughout the centuries. For instance, a Jakub SUKUT is mentioned in a church register from the village of Kościerzyna in the late 17th century. Additionally, the name can be found in the archives of the city of Gdańsk, where a merchant named Jan SUKUT is recorded as having lived in the early 18th century.

One notable figure bearing the SUKUT surname was Wojciech SUKUT, a Polish military officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars. He was born in 1786 in the village of Brzeźno and rose through the ranks to become a captain in the Polish cavalry. He fought in several notable battles, including the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, where he was wounded.

Another individual of note was Stanisław SUKUT, a Polish artist and painter who lived in the late 19th century. He was born in 1849 in the town of Grudziądz and is best known for his landscapes and portraiture. His works can be found in several art galleries and museums across Poland.

In the early 20th century, a man named Józef SUKUT gained recognition as a prominent educator and school administrator. Born in 1875 in the village of Kościerzyna, he dedicated his career to improving education in rural areas of Poland. He served as the headmaster of several schools and was instrumental in establishing new educational institutions in his region.

It is worth noting that the SUKUT name has also been found in certain regions of Ukraine, particularly in the western part of the country. This is likely due to the historical ties and migration patterns between Poland and Ukraine over the centuries. However, the name is still primarily associated with its Polish origins.
