W 1621 r. Jerzy Ossoliński (1595-1650) przyjął tytuł „hrabiego z Tęczyna”. Ponieważ pieczętował się herbem Topór, powstało powszechne przekonanie, że ród Ossolińskich wywodził się z rodu Tęczyńskich, pieczętującego się tym herbem. Pogląd ten, powtarzany w staropolskich herbarzach, obalono w latach 90. XX w. Z powodu braku dokumentów źródłowych nie udało się wyjaśnić kwestii przybrania tytułu „hrabiów z Tęczyna” przez rodzinę Ossolińskich. Argumentacja, jakoby Zbigniew Ossoliński w 1593 r. został adoptowany do nazwiska przez umierającego Jana Tęczyńskiego, podkomorzego krakowskiego, wydaje się być mało przekonująca. Bardziej prawdopodobne jest działanie kancelarii królewskiej, która nadała Jerzemu Ossolińskiemu ten tytuł w instrukcji poselskiej do Anglii. Miało to służyć podniesieniu prestiżu osoby posła, który nie piastował jeszcze żadnych urzędów ani godności. Ten natomiast, w obliczu szerzącej się wówczas ideologii szlacheckiej, opartej o religię i zmitologizowane genealogie, zadbał by przydomek „z Tęczyna” na stałe pozostał przy nazwisku jego rodu. Do tego celu wykorzystał autorytet kancelarii koronnej.

In 1621 Jerzy Ossoliński (1595–1650) assumed the title of "Count of Tęczyn". Because he used the coat of arms Topór (an Ax), there was a widespread belief that Ossolińskis Family was a descendant of Tęczyńskis Family who used the same coat of arms. This view was repeated in the old Polish armorials but overthrown in the 1990s. Due to the absence of source documents it was failed to explain how the Ossoliński family assumed the title of "Counts of Tęczyn". The argument that the dying Jan Tęczyński, chamberlain of Cracow, allegedly adopted Zbigniew Ossoliński in 1593. seems to be unconvincing. More likely it was the outcome of the action of the Royal Chancelery, which added that title to Jerzy Ossoliński’s envoy mandate to England. This was made to increase prestige of an envoy who did not held any office or dignity at that time. Jerzy Ossoliński, however, facing the spreading ideology of the nobility that was based on religion and mythologized genealogies and took care to preserve the title "from Tęczyn" that finally permanently stayed with the name of his family. For this purpose, he used the authority of the Crown Office.
