Meaning & History

Altered, likely Americanized or Germanized, version of the Czech surname Zemlicka. Zemlicka derives from žemle, meaning "bread roll," and was a name given to bakers.

The alternative spelling, Zamlocke, may in fact be the Americanized version of Zamloch.

Persons with the surname include magician Anton Zamloch and baseball player Carl Zamloch.
