Meaning & History
Talianek has been used almost interchangeably with the other variants in Slovak church records starting in 1745 in Brezova Pod Bradlom, Slovakia. This surname split into 2 branches, talianek and talianko; in the early 1800s as the family grew and began to spread to neighboring towns. Variant usage continued in Slovakia until both branches independently immigrated to the USA between 1905-1929 and the surnames were permanently codified.
