The UK classification gives the national picture. The London classification is more specific to the capital, where housing, age profile, tenure and population mix can look quite different from the rest of the UK.

Most ethnic minorities are present in these communities, as are people born in European countries that are not part of the EU. Students aside, low skilled occupations predominate, and unemployment rates are above average. Overall, the mix of students and more sedentary households means that neighbourhood average numbers of children are not very high.

Flatted accommodation is less dominant than elsewhere in the Supergroup.

Meaning and origin of Jagiello

The surname Jagiello originated in Poland, with its roots dating back to the 14th century. It is derived from the Polish name Jagiellon, which was the name of a prominent Polish royal dynasty that ruled the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from 1386 to 1572.

The Jagiellonian dynasty was founded by Władysław II Jagiełło, who was born around 1352 and died in 1434. He was the Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1377 to 1401 and became the King of Poland in 1386 after marrying the Polish Queen Jadwiga. He played a crucial role in the Christianization of Lithuania and the formation of the Polish-Lithuanian Union.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Jagiello surname can be found in the historical records of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where members of the Jagiellonian dynasty and their courtiers were referred to by this name. The surname was also used by noble families and gentry who claimed descent from the Jagiellonian lineage or had close ties to the dynasty.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Jagiello surname appeared in various Polish and Lithuanian chronicles, court documents, and genealogical records. Some notable individuals bearing this surname include:

1. Konstanty Jagiełło (1437-1492), a Polish nobleman and military commander who served under King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk. 2. Mikołaj Jagiełło (1510-1572), a Polish diplomat and politician who held the position of Castellan of Kalisz. 3. Anna Jagiellonka (1523-1596), a Polish princess and the last member of the Jagiellonian dynasty to hold the title of Duchess of Masovia. 4. Jerzy Jagiełło (1560-1628), a Polish nobleman and landowner who served as the Starosta of Człuchów. 5. Zygmunt Jagiełło (1620-1689), a Lithuanian magnate and military commander who fought in the Khmelnytsky Uprising.

Over time, the Jagiello surname spread beyond the noble and gentry classes, becoming more common among the general population in Poland and Lithuania. Various spelling variations, such as Jagielski, Jagielski, and Jagielończyk, also emerged as the name evolved.
