Lojek

Lojek is a surname of Slavic origin, most commonly found in Central Europe. In native Czech and Slovak contexts the name is typically written Ložek, with a háček over the z, while the form Lojek without diacritics is common in international usage or in non-Slavic settings.

The surname is borne by individuals across a range of professions, including science, education, and the arts. It is particularly associated with Czech and Slovak communities, and genealogical records show its presence in Central Europe and among diaspora populations abroad.

Lojek does not refer to a single place, organization, or historical event. Rather, it denotes family names that may belong to diverse and unrelated lineages. The diacritic variant Ložek is a closely related spelling in the original languages.

Variants and related forms include Ložek. In discussions of personal names, Lojek is typically treated as a surname rather than a given name, and it is usually identified by the cultural and linguistic context in which it appears.
