The Staszkiewicz family (Polish pronunciation: [staʂˈkʲɛ.vʲit͡ʂ] Polish: Staszkiewicze, Lietuvių: Staškevičiai, Українська: Сташкевичі, Stashkevychs; Русский: Сташкевичи, Stashkevichs) is a Polish-Lithuanian noble family[1][2][3][4] of ancient lineage originating from the Duchy of Samogitia.

The first known reference to the family is in the 1528 census of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania[5] where they are recorded living in the voivodeships of Samogitia, Trakai, and Vilnius.

Nineteenth century documents record the family in additional territories: Vitebsk, Podolia,[6] Kovno, Mogilev, Kiev, and Volhyn.

Heraldry

Kasper Niesiecki records the Staszkiewicz family coming from the Duchy of Samogitia and states their coat of arms is a variation of Leliwa coat of arms.[1]

Juliusz Ostrowski records the Staszkiewicz coat of arms (I & III) as variations of Sas coat of arms[7] and also records, referencing Niesiecki, version II as a variation of Leliwa.[7]

An 1819 confirmation of nobility records a branch of the Staszkiewicz family using the coat of arms Kroje.[8]
