Jursitzky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jursitzky family (or Jurczycki) is the name of an ancient Polish noble family. In 1404, Watzlaw Jursitzky was registered in the Kraków coat of arms as a member of the Topór clan.
Name
The ancient name "Jurczycki z Jurczyc" derives from the first name Georg (Slavic: "Juri"); it means sons of Georg (The "ki" at the end of the name means "son of"). Over time, due to political changes and migration in Silesia, the Germanised versions of Jurczycki and Jursitzky came into use. Over the time, the family also became part of the German and Austrian nobility.
