Most probably of [[Albanians|Albanian]] origin, Mazarek was born in [[Janjevo]] in 1726. The name Mazrek(u), which means horse breeder in Albanian, is found throughout all Albanian regions.{{sfn|Malaj|2013|p=45}} [[Robert Elsie|Elsie]] links the name to Mazreku, an Albanian tribe north of [[Shkodër]].{{Sfn|Elsie|2015|p=138}}
Mazarek was born in [[Janjevo]] in 1726. There are different views about the ethnicity of the Mazarek family. [[Noel Malcolm]] believes that they were [[Albanians]] who absorbed [[Serbian language|Serbian]] and forgot the [[Albanian language]]. The basis for his position are toponyms in [[Malësia]] (region of northern Albania and southern Montenegro). Some other authors, such as Luca Maiocchi, point to a Slavic origin of this family name, typical for the group of mixed Montenegrin-Albanian tribal names (i.e. Krasnić/[[Krasniqi]]).{{Sfn|Maiocchi|2009|p=98}} Vukanović believes this family name is derived from pan-Slavic word ''mes-arъ'' ({{lang-en|butcher}}).{{Sfn|Maiocchi|2009|p=98}} Skoko connected this family name with Serbo-Croatian name for a bird.{{Sfn|Maiocchi|2009|p=98}}


Mazreku is an Albanian tribe north of [[Shkodër]], close to [[Shllaku (tribe)|Shllaku]]. [[Robert Elsie|Elsie]] links the name to the geographic position, ''m(b)as rekës'' - "beyond the river" (transfluvium).{{Sfn|Elsie|2015|p=138}} Before 1743 Jovan Nikolović (or Gjon Nikolle) sent Mazarek to Italy to be trained for his religious tasks.{{Sfn|Maiocchi|2009|p=100}} In 1750 he was archbishop of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Skopje]].<ref name="Zanella2006">{{cite book|last=Zanella|first=Luana|title=L'altra guerra del Kosovo: il patrimonio della cristianità serbo-ortodossa da salvare|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=fpdpAAAAMAAJ|year=2006|publisher=Casadei Libri|isbn=978-88-89466-07-0|page=29}}</ref>
