Sicinski

Sicinski (sometimes spelled Siciński) refers to a Polish surname. More specifically, it is most often associated with:

• Władysław Siciński (c. 1615 – 1672): A Polish nobleman (szlachcic) best known for being the first person to use the liberum veto in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Sejm (parliament). In 1652, he vetoed the extension of a session of the Sejm, prematurely ending the deliberations and invalidating all legislation passed during that session. This act is viewed by many historians as the beginning of the decline of the Commonwealth, as the liberum veto was increasingly used by other nobles to block reforms and destabilize the government.

The surname itself originates in Poland and can be found in other countries with Polish diaspora populations. The name’s origin and meaning may relate to specific locations or historical occupations within Poland. Genealogical research is often necessary to determine the precise origin and family history for individuals bearing the Sicinski surname.
