History

The House of Lacković was a branch of the influential Kán family (members of the Hermány clan), which settled in Pannonia in 895, becoming Counts of Siklós in the year 900. The founder of the family is traditionally held to be László II Kán. The descendants of his union with a princess from the Piast royal family of Poland took the name of Lacković/Lackfi, which means son of Lacko (or Laczk), which in turn is the diminutive form of the name László (English: Ladislaus or Ladislas). This version, however, is held to be incorrect by some (see: Kán).
By origin the Lacković family was Magyar (Hungarian), but since they frequently administered the southern regions of the Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen, the Croatian rendition of the surname is often used.
