                                      Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2012 10:48 am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      According to a map of Polish surnames (&lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/&lt;/a&gt;), there were only 39 people with the name Cieryt as of 2000-2002. &lt;br /&gt;
See &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Cieryt&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Cieryt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was unable to find the name &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Cieryt&lt;/span&gt; in either Rymut’s or Hoffman’s book (see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=577#577&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;Sources&lt;/a&gt;), although it may be related to the name &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Ciera&lt;/span&gt;, which originated from the verb cierac meaning “to rub, to wipe”. According to Rymut, the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Cier-&lt;/span&gt; root gave rise to such names as Cierachowicz, Cieral, Cierczek, Cierek, Ciereniewicz, Ciereszko, Cierkosz, Cieroń, Cierzek, Cierzeń, Cierzuch and Cierzych.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can click here  &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/databases/index?s=Cieryt&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/databases/index?s=Cieryt&lt;/a&gt;  to check what can be found about your surname in the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/databases/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;PolishOrigins Databases tool&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may find other PolishOrigins members interested in this surname using the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/surnames/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;PolishOrigins Surnames Database&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this helps.</description>
