Origin: Good Question! I've been searching for the answer to this question since 1999. I have been told by a native Pole living in Chicago that the name means "to break through, move forward," especially in a military connotation ie...to cause an opponents' rout. This explanation also bears a close resemblence to the story of the Napiers of Scotland's name origin mythology. Is there a link. Charlie Napier of the Napier Clan Society disclaims any link for lack of evidence. However, the stories are so similar it implies a possible connection, especially with the influx of Scot men at arms into the area in the late 1500's. Scholars of the area readily acknowledge the possibility, while Charlie is still holding out for "concrete" evidence, which may or may not exist.

Origin: Baeckelandt: Origins of and Meaning of the Flemish Surname Variations of the name BAECKELANDT: BAKELAND BAEKELAND BAECKELAND BAKELANDT BAKELAND BAECKELAND BECKELANDT BAKELANT BAEKELANDT BAKALANDE BAKLANT BAKELANTS
- In Flanders family names became general usage in the 12th century. - These were passed along from father to son of course. - The Council of Trent (1563) required pastors to record family names when two people got married. - But spelling was inconsistent even among siblings and between generations. - The earliest record of someone being said to come from a place by the name ?BAKELANDE? is in a reference book on topography on western Flanders that mentions in 1231 a ?Coram Waltero de Bakelande and Waltero de Warenghen? . - The earliest recorded mention of a surname kin is in 1281 under the form BAKELANT: Abraham dou BAKELANT of Avelgem . - At Kortrijk?s ?Kasselrij? the archives mention one Walterus dictus BAKELANT in 1316. - In 1368 a Jhan vanden Bussche is recorded as having changed his name to Jhan BAKELANDE .
- Later at Herzeeuw (aka Herseaux) in 1398 a Symon, a Pieter and a Hennequin BAKELANT were already well known in the province of Henegouwen. - In 1449 one Jehane BAKELANTS, daughter of a Jans van CURTRIKE (Kortrijk?), is mentioned as a gatekeeper of Brugge . - The earliest reference I am aware of with the spelling as we make it is the birth notice of a Rogerius BAECKELANDT, born in Tielt February 14, 1619. However, his children spelled their names ?BACKELANT? and ?BACQUELANT? underscoring the inconsistency of the written versions of names and contrasting with today?s legal enforcement of a surname?s specific spelling. - The place name ?Bakeland? appears to have various origins. ?Bakeland? was the name of a feudal manor in Waregem and Deerlijk commonly recognized as early as the mid 14th century - ?Den Bake? is also the name of a strip of land in Berten (part of French Flanders now) in 1541 It is also a district in Poperinge in the 16th century: ?houc de bake?. And in Wingene around 1550 in parishes north of the churches we find places named ?Bakenhof? - To understand the meaning of the name we must break it up into its composite parts, ?Baecke? and ?landt?. ?Landt? of course means ?land? or ?country? or ?place? in English. ?Baecke? is more complex and has several origins. - The simplest reference to ?bake? (the original spelling for ?baecke?) is ham or bacon in Middle Netherlandish (the language spoken in the 1200s to 1500s) . - The other known reference to ?bake? found in Flanders in this period were to small poles or stakes, a few fists high, driven in as markers for shepherds on thoroughfares across cultivated fields . - According to a 1996 Belgacom (the Belgian telecommunications monopoly) electronic map, there were 457 households registered under the ?BAECKELANDT? name in Belgium at that time.

Origin: Falasco - in Italian, it is the name for a pretty grass/flower that spreads over much of Italy's humid, moist regions. Its Latin designation is "Caldium (or Cladiun) Mariscus" which refers to the plant's growth in wet/swamp areas of Italy. A google search of "Falasco" lists this in greater detail. Perhaps the surname developed to name people living in or near these plants/grasses in some part of (southern) Italy. Another possibility, according to some, is that the surname Falasco developed from the Spanish surname, "Velasquez"; Spain controlled portions of Southern Italy for a considerable period of time, and numerous Spaniards lived in the region.
