The name first appeared as a
place name in Silesia in the 13th century, where it was spelled variously in Latin documents. Copernicus "was rather indifferent about
orthography.
[39] During his childhood, the name of his father (and thus of the future astronomer) was recorded in Toruń as
Niclas Koppernigk around 1480.
[40][41] At Kraków he signed his name "Nicolaus Nicolai de Torunia."
[11] At Bologna in 1496, he registered in the
Matricula Nobilissimi Germanorum Collegii resp.
Annales Clarissimae Nacionis Germanorum of the
Natio Germanica Bononiae as
Dominus Nicolaus Kopperlingk de Thorn – IX grosseti.

[39] He signed a self-portrait, a copy of which is now at Jagiellonian University, "N Copernic."
[44] The astronomer Latinized his name to
Coppernicus, generally with two "p"s (in 23 of 31 documents studied),
[45] but later in life he used a single "p". On the title page of
De revolutionibus, Rheticus published the name as (in the
genitive, or
possessive, case) "Nicolai Copernici".

Copernicus' uncle seems first to have sent him to the St. John's School at Toruń where he himself had been a master.

During 1516–21, Copernicus resided at Olsztyn Castle as economic administrator of Warmia, including
Olsztyn (Allenstein) and
Pieniężno (Mehlsack). While there, he wrote a manuscript,
Locationes mansorum desertorum (
Locations of Deserted Fiefs), with a view to populating those fiefs with industrious farmers and so bolstering the economy of Warmia. When
Olsztyn was besieged by the
Teutonic Knights during the
Polish–Teutonic War (1519–21), Copernicus directed the defense of Olsztyn and Warmia by Royal Polish forces. He also represented the Polish side in the ensuing peace negotiations.
[59]Copernicus worked for years with the Royal Prussian
diet, and with
Duke Albert of Prussia (against whom Copernicus had defended Warmia in the Polish-Teutonic War), and advised King Sigismund, on
monetary reform.

Nothing came of Wapowski's request, because he died a couple of weeks later.

Mauritius Ferber (1 July 1537), Copernicus participated in the election of his successor, Johannes Dantiscus (20 September 1537).

About 1532 Copernicus had basically completed his work on the manuscript of
De revolutionibus orbium coelestium; but despite urging by his closest friends, he resisted openly publishing his views, not wishing—as he confessed—to risk the scorn "to which he would expose himself on account of the novelty and incomprehensibility of his theses."
