|
Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Flemish, French, German, Irish, Norwegian and Scots: from a personal name (Latin Martinus, a derivative of Mars, genitive Martis, the Roman god of fertility and war, whose name may derive ultimately from a root mar gleam). This was borne by a famous 4th-century saint, Martin of Tours, and consequently became extremely popular throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. It is one of the few saints' names other than the names of Old English saints found in England before the Conquest.>1 The name Martynowicz was derived through Patronymic. A patronym, is a component of a personal name based on the name of one's father. A component of a name based on the name of one's mother is a matronym. Each is a means of conveying lineage. Obviously during singular naming there was a considerable time of loose patronomization before they became a formal part of a person's name in 1700's.3 In many areas patronyms predate the use of family names. They are common as middle names in Russia and in Iceland few people have surnames. ---- The Family Coat of Arms Suchekomnaty - is a Polish Coat of Arms. It was used by several szlachta families in the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.2 ---- Names of Origin: http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~alan/family/S-Martyn.html1 Coat of Arms: http://genealog.home.pl/gd/szablony/osoba.php?langen&id0526592 Definition of Patronym: http://en. .org/wiki/Patronymic3 See Also
