Last name Sapeta

I am interested in finding my roots in Poland. My last name Sapeta, some say, doesn't even sound Polish but I know my grandparents came from there. Any Suggestions?

I think "Sapeta" is a very rare Polish surname (actually if someone told me he's Polish and his last name is "Sapeta", I wouldn't have guessed). I didi quick search online and found out there was a priest with this name...

Wow a priest. Where did you find this? Is he alive and where is he located?

(he is apparently a teacher of German at a seconbdary school)

and here's something more:
http://www.szkoly.edu.pl/sp.radziechowy/
a primary school in some little town or village called Radziechowy with the e-mail address of another Sapeta.

I am sorry, I wish I could but I can't read or speak Polish. All my grandparents did on bot sides. By the way, my mothers maiden name is Drysielski. Any info on that name?

Hi there,

My last name is Sapeta and I am 100% Polish. It is indeed a very Polish last name. My parents divorced when I was very young and I lived with my mother after, so I know next to nothing about my father and his side of the family.

I can tell you that it is a fairly common name so I doubt we are related, lol. But there's quite a few people with that last name that come up on a basic websearch, including a number of scientists.

Do you know what city or region your grandparents came from?

Hello! My Great Grand Mother is Helen Sapeta. Her marriage licence states that she was born in Warsaw. She was born in 1901 and passed away in 1988. She had a sister Lucy and I think she had two brothers and i know they called the one Teddy. Her parents came to America when she was about two years old and moved to New Jersey. Her mother died when My Great Grandmother was 6 years old and her father remarried a few years later. She said her father was a contracter in Jersey. She had a sister Christine who remained in Poland to care for her Grandmother who was to old to make the trip. Durring world war two her sister was killed at a nazi camp. I think because she helped hide a Jewish child. I think at the time of her death she was married and I would love to find out her married name to get the picture of her on file. I know I have a cousin with the last name Sapeta who lives in New York State. His name is Ken Sapeta. I would also love to know more about the family. I only have men Ken. I would love to meet more of the family and know more about them. If I can help please let me know. My mother knows much more about the family than I do. My email address is KOPATOP@hotmail.com.

Good Luck!

I have Sapeta on my name...I'm portuguese!
I'm curious about my name because i don't if my roots are really portuguese or from another country, and this name it's not really comon..I found interesting that on my family there are several women named Helena Sapeta and the message in this site says that the Great Grand mother is Helen sapeta!So contact me please!

I know that in 15th or 16th (I think 16th) century,to escape persecution, many Jews came to Poland from Portugal and Spain . Therefore, it is possible that your ancestors came from Portugal and assimilated into Polish society. I do not what percentage of Polish Catholics have Jews roots, but I do know that some had converted and assimilated.

So it's probrable that my name came from poland?Because in portugal i think that there is only one family with this name, and that family is my family!I believe that with wars and other things people change of country and as it says in one of these messages 'Sapeta is indeed a polish name!' i think that i'm descendent of a polish family..and i want to know more about it, if someone can help me i would be very gratefull!
Regards,
Ana

If the other person by the name of KSapeta is actually Kenny. Then I think he is my cousin.Ana,
My mother as atleast one piece of jewelery from my Great Grandmother. When she had it to a jewelers he said the piece was actually from Spain. My Great Grandmother's parents came to America about 1903 or so. Her mother died not long after arriving. The lived in New Jersey. I know she was the youngest in the family and her oldest sister was killed in a concentration camp in Austria I think. They were not Jewish. They were Catholic. But I was told her sister tried to save a jewish child and was caught and put to death for this. That is how I have heard it anyway. And if KSapeta is Kenny Sapeta I would like to get together with him to see what information we could share. I hear that if you had a family member in one of these camps they will release the information to the family. But I do not know what my Great Aunt Christine's married name would have been. After the war my Great Grandmother received a picture of her sister Christine and her head had been shaved. I have been unable to locate this picture. Again my email address is KOPATOP@hotmail.com

Hi
I'm Paweł Sapeta and i'm from Poland too. My family live near Żywiec in Lesna, it is near Radziechowy. There is (in this region) many people withthis last name. So I think that this name has begining i this region, but mayby i'm wrong.

There are nearly 800 Sapetas in Poland, and the largest single cluster is found in in the mountainous areas of southern Poland's Bielsko-Biała region, "Polish hillbilly country". Its origin may strike some as humorous. For more information check out research60@gmail.com

My Grandmother is Sapeta ..born in Madeira Portugal born 1885 went to Hawaii in 1907 then to the SF bay area of California

My Grandmother,s name was Sapeta from Madeira Portugal left for Hawaii in 1907 then to California in 1920

There are at several possible sources of the Sapieta surname including: 1) indigenous - from the Polish verb sapać (to gasp, be out of breath), in which case sapieta, sapacz, sapała, sapak, sapaka, sapuś, sapol and probably a few more would be colloquial for gasper (someone who breathes heavily, wheezes, gasps for air, etc.); 2) Indigenous toponymic nickname from such Polish localities as Sapy, Sapice or Sapałówka (Gasperville, Wheezeton); and 3) The Iberian (Portuguese) connection already mentioned in this forum. Occasionally Polish names coincide with those of different nationalities but mean something totally different, eg Posada (in Polish -- a prestigious, good-paying position, in Spanish -- an inn).
It cannot be ruled out that different Sapietas got their name from different sources. There are additional sources of this surname as well.

hi, I am interested of collect some informations, documents, etc. about Sapeta from whole world. If someone can help me please contact edyta.sapeta@yahoo.se
