Surname-Vesecky
I am doing research on the surname Vesecky. I was told today that this surname is of German origin, but according to what I found today, I believe it is Czech or Slovak in origin. I didn't find the exact spelling of Vesecky but did find these spellings....Vacek-Czech, Vacik, Vasek. I also found the spelling Vaclav which is of masculine gender and usage is Czech, Slovak. I am researching these two first names which have the surname of Vesecky. The first name is Stanislav Vesecky and his wifes' name was Eraniziska Vesecky. They also have a grandson who is alive and his name is Karl Vesecky. I'm hoping that somebody could let me know if I'm on the right track as far as the origin of the surname Vesecky or if it has some other origin. My email is karen_moellenberndt@excite.com

Yes you are correct, that is my late grandparents. it's actually Stanislav and Franziska Vesecky. The family moved from Czech and Germany with some brief time in Belgium, to the US in 1954. Their sons are Peter (my father), Karl, Frank, and Stanley, and Daughter Hannah. Who all have had many kids and Grandkids. Interestingly enough, Franziska was born in Czechoslovakia, while Stanislav was born in Germany. But the name is in fact of Czech origin and the edit to pronunciation is correct then, but now we have americanized it. Very cool to find this article. Thank you.

Vesecký is definitely Czech surname. It means "from Vesec".
Ersniziska named Mrs. Vesecká, in Czechia.
