czystych

Czystych is a Polish surname derived from the adjective czysty, meaning clean. In Polish onomastics, adjectives and nicknames frequently became family names, and Czystych reflects this pattern. The ending -ych corresponds to the genitive plural form of czysty in Polish grammar and has been adopted in surnames as a fixed designation rather than as a literal phrase.

The name likely originated as a descriptive nickname for an ancestor described as clean, virtuous, or orderly, or perhaps associated with a place or trade emphasizing cleanliness. Over time, the form became established as a hereditary surname.

Geographic distribution for Czystych is limited; it is relatively uncommon and found primarily in Poland, with smaller pockets among Polish diaspora communities in other countries. As a surname derived from czysty, it has potential cognates in related languages or with variant spellings in historical records, including Czysty or Czysta, depending on gender or transcription in archival sources.

Publicly available genealogical and biographical references do not identify widely known figures with the surname Czystych, and many individuals bearing the name may be private persons or have been recorded under different forms of the base word.
