Krynicki (Polish: Kryniccy) is the surname of three Polish noble families of the Sas and Korab coats-of-arms.
One Krynicki family of the Sas coat-of-arms is descended from Szandro (Alexander) the Wallachian (Szandro Wołoch) who received the village of Krynica near Lviv (now Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast) from King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1402. [1] In 1448 King Casimir IV granted knights Daszko (Daniel) and Sienko (Semyon) with the villages of Krynica and Morachwa in Podolia. [1] Their descendants also used the Sas coat-of-arms. [1]
In 1610 a commoner Jan from Krynica was ennobled by King Sigismund III Vasa with the Korab arms for participation in the war against Muscovy. [2] The origins of the Krynickis of the Korab arms are uncertain. It is believed that Jan Krynicki originated in Krynica-Zdrój. [3] There is a hypothesis that Jan Krynicki was the son of Danko from Miastko (the current village of Tylicz), the first soltys of Krynica, a rich peasant from Wallachia. [4] Nevertheless, Jerzy Krynicki believes he was a burgher. [5] However, Tadeusz M.Trajdos argues there is no certainty as to where Jan Krynicki actually came from. [6] The debate over Jan Krynicki's background is complicated by the fact that in the patent it says his mother hailed from an old Polish noble family, thus a marriage choice for a commoner is questioned. [5] Z. Wąsowicz believes Danko from Miastko was a Polish Catholic instead. [5] Tadeusz Trajdos also points out that there is no record of Jan Krynicki's possible offspring and, thus, no documented connection with the Krynickis who used the Korab coat-of-arms in the 18th century.
