Szacki

Szacki is a Polish-language surname. The name is believed to be toponymic, derived from a place such as the village of Szak or a similarly named settlement in Poland, and the suffix –cki is a common locative marker in Polish surnames. The root of the name may be associated with a local geographical feature, a personal nickname, or an occupational term that has since fallen out of common usage.

The surname does not appear among the most common Polish family names and is relatively uncommon. Historical records show occasional use of the name among families in the Masovian and Greater Poland regions in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A few individuals bearing the surname have achieved limited local prominence in fields such as academia, sports, or commerce, but none have attained widespread national or international recognition that would be noted in major biographical dictionaries.

Because of the rarity of the surname, comprehensive studies of lineage or demographic distribution are limited. Genealogical research often relies on parish registers, civil status records, and census data to trace the origins of a particular Szacki line. In contemporary Poland, the name can still be found in minor civic directories and local community listings.
