    In Polish the noun 'maczuga' means bat, large size of wooden or stone stick. Rather rare as a Polish surname.
    It reminds the English noun mattock (a kind of pick)

    Sardinian matzocca (a kind of wooden mace / club / bludgeon)

    Romanian măciucă (club / mace / bludgeon)

    Vulgar Latin matteūca or mattiūca (club / bludgeon)
    Non Auro, Sed Ferro, Recuperanda Est Patria (Not by Gold, But by Iron, Is the Nation to be Recovered) - Marcus Furius Camillus (Roman General)
