Origin of the Mazur name
Mazur means "Mazovian", a name for someone from Mazovia (Mazowsze), the region around Warsaw, or for a settler of Mazovian origin elsewhere. Mazovian peasants moved in large numbers to neighbouring regions from the late Middle Ages, which helped spread the name. The same root gives the mazurka dance. Mazur is common across Poland and in Ukraine.
