The tatar Surname
tatar Name Meaning and History
Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian (Tatár), and Jewish (eastern
Ashkenazic): ethnic name or nickname from tatar ‘Tatar’. In
some languages, e.g. Czech, the word came to be used as a nickname for
a wild or uncontrolled man, while in 18th-century Hungary it became a
nickname for a godless person. In some cases the name was given to
people who had been captured by the Tatars. The surname
is also found in Greek in the form Tataris and patronymic
derivatives such as Tatarakis, Tataridis, and
Tataroglou.
