Your surname is akin to Christiansson, by any chance.. ? (Or Christensen, Kristensen, Kristensson etc.. ) -- nm - Facto Feb 6, 13:24 18
- from what I've read, "-ski" and "-sky" is more of an unofficial honoriffic than a "son of" designation. - Reagen Feb 6, 13:28 8
  - And one version is catholic and the other is jewish. - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:30 7
    - I've never met any Jewish -skis or -skys, though anything's possible - Reagen Feb 6, 13:33 6
      - now they are skiy's -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 14:15
      - As I said I think I've confused that with -itz and -icz. -- nm - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:35 4
        
        -itz is the German ending, -icz is the Polish -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 13:38 3
        
        There are are also different endings for Polish jews and polish catholics. -- nm - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:42
        
        "Rabinowitz" -- nm - Facto Feb 6, 13:40 1
        
        Sure, but there is also Rabinovitz, Rabinowicz, Rabinovich etc, all spelled according to whether it's Polish, German, Russian etc - Roger More Feb 6, 13:45
- How do you know my surname! Stalker! - musubi Feb 6, 13:27 8
  - we *could* start calling you that. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 13:30 7
    - I also see now that I misspelled Krzyzewski. - musubi Feb 6, 13:31 6
      - Wasn't familiar with basketball coaches' names, but seeing as googling it wouldn't have helped... - Facto Feb 6, 13:37 2
        
        also of note is that just about every North American Pole pronounces their name "wrong". - Reagen Feb 6, 13:46 1
        
        Sfpockz? (nm) - musubi Feb 6, 14:46
