The history of the last name Tomecko

The surname TOMECKO has its origins in the Slavic regions of Eastern Europe, particularly in the area now known as Poland. It is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages, around the 12th or 13th century. The name is derived from the Slavic root "tom," meaning "that one," and the diminutive suffix "-eko," which was commonly used to form personal names or nicknames.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the TOMECKO surname can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Poloniae, a collection of historical documents from the Polish lands, dating back to the 13th century. This early reference suggests that the name was already well-established in the region during that period.

In the 15th century, a Polish nobleman named Jan TOMECKO was mentioned in a charter issued by King Casimir IV Jagiellon, indicating that the name had gained some prominence among the nobility. Another notable figure with this surname was Mikołaj TOMECKO, a scholar and professor at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, who lived in the late 16th century.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the TOMECKO surname appeared in various records and documents throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, suggesting that it had spread to other parts of the region. One particular individual of note was Stanisław TOMECKO, a Catholic priest and writer who lived in the early 18th century and authored several works on theology and ethics.

In the 19th century, the TOMECKO surname can be found in connection with several notable figures.

Another notable bearer of the name was Franciszek TOMECKO, a Polish politician and activist who played a significant role in the struggle for Polish independence during that time.

As the TOMECKO surname spread beyond its original homeland, it also became associated with individuals in other parts of Europe and the world.
