Origin
Meaning and origin of Taliancich
The surname TALIANCICH is of Croatian origin, with its roots dating back to the 15th century in the region of Dalmatia, which is now part of modern-day Croatia. The name is believed to have derived from the Old Croatian word "talijan," meaning "Italian," potentially indicating that the earliest bearers of this surname may have had Italian ancestry or connections.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the TALIANCICH surname can be found in the parish records of the town of Zadar, located in Dalmatia, dating back to the late 1400s. These records document the presence of a family bearing this name in the area during that time period.
In the 16th century, the TALIANCICH name appeared in various historical documents and records related to the Venetian Republic's control over parts of Dalmatia. Some of these records mention individuals with this surname holding administrative positions or participating in local governance under Venetian rule.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the TALIANCICH surname began to spread beyond Dalmatia to other regions of Croatia, as well as neighboring countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina. One notable figure from this period was Petar TALIANCICH, a merchant and ship owner from the city of Split, who lived from 1679 to 1748 and played a significant role in maritime trade in the Adriatic Sea.
In the 19th century, several members of the TALIANCICH family rose to prominence in various fields. Marko TALIANCICH (1814-1892) was a renowned lawyer and legal scholar who contributed significantly to the development of Croatian jurisprudence. Ivana TALIANCICH (1832-1908) was a celebrated writer and poet, known for her works that explored themes of Croatian identity and culture.
Another notable figure from this period was Nikola TALIANCICH (1855-1921), a prominent architect who designed several iconic buildings in the city of Zadar, including the National Theater and the Orthodox Cathedral. His architectural works were heavily influenced by the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque styles popular during that era.
As the TALIANCICH surname spread across Croatia and neighboring regions, it also underwent various spelling variations over time, such as TALIJANICH, TALIANČIĆ, and TALIANČIČ, reflecting the diverse linguistic influences and dialects present in the region.

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 Taliancich surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
