Lissek

Lissek is a surname of primarily German origin. It is believed to be derived from a pet form of the Slavic name Ladislav, meaning "glorious rule" or "famous ruler." The name may also have connections to locations or landmarks bearing similar phonetic qualities in areas historically populated by Slavic or Germanic peoples.

Variants of the surname include Lisek, Lissak, and Liszek. These variations may reflect regional dialectal differences or alterations during immigration and record-keeping processes.

Records of individuals bearing the name Lissek can be found across Europe, particularly in Germany, Poland, and surrounding countries. Over time, the name has also spread to other parts of the world due to emigration.

As with many surnames, the specific origin and historical lineage of a particular Lissek family can only be definitively determined through genealogical research and analysis of historical records, such as census data, birth certificates, marriage licenses, and immigration documents.
