One of the earliest recorded instances of the Tatusko name appears in a 17th-century church registry from the town of Pinsk, located in what is now western Belarus. This document lists a "Piotr Tatusko" as a landowner in the area.

During the 19th century, the Tatusko name appeared in various records across the Russian Empire, including census documents and military registers. One such individual was Aleksandr Tatusko, a respected scholar and linguist born in 1845 in the city of Vilnius, then part of the Russian Empire (now the capital of Lithuania).
