Trojan Family History

Trojan Surname Meaning

Polish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, and German (of Slavic origin): from the Old Slavic personal name Trojan borne by a mythical creature from the early Slavic records. It may be a derivative of Latin Traianus, the name of a Roman emperor (53–117) who extended the Roman Empire east into Dacia (modern Romania), or a name of Old Slavic origin derived from the adjective trojь ‘triple, treble’; this personal name was used among Czechs as a name bestowed on children born on the Feast of the Holy Trinity and among Croats as an omen or well-wishing name.

Compare Troyan. Czech: topographic or habitational name referring to a house named U trojky zlaté, distinguished by the sign of a Golden Three. Possibly also French: from the Latin personal name Troianus ‘Trojan’. This gained currency as having been the name of a 6th-century Christian saint, bishop of Saintes.

Compare Italian Troiano.
