One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Urmanski can be found in the Polish town of Lublin, where a man named Jan Urmanski was mentioned in a local registry in the late 15th century. The name also appears in various historical records from the regions of Silesia and Pomerania, which were part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time.

In the 16th century, a notable figure named Maciej Urmanski was a prominent merchant in the city of Gdansk (then known as Danzig). He was involved in the lucrative trade between Poland and the Hanseatic League, which was a powerful economic alliance of merchant guilds in Northern Europe.

One such family owned vast estates in the region of Podlasie, and their coat of arms featured a stag, symbolizing their connection to the forests and hunting grounds of the area.

In the late 18th century, a Polish military officer named Andrzej Urmanski fought in the Kosciuszko Uprising against the partitioning of Poland by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Despite the uprising's eventual failure, Urmanski's bravery and leadership were celebrated in Polish folklore and literature.

Another notable figure with the Urmanski surname was Tomasz Urmanski, a renowned artist and sculptor who lived in the 19th century. His works were heavily influenced by the Romantic movement and often depicted scenes from Polish history and mythology.
