Is kuchinski a Jewish name? ?
Jewish of Polish origin, many Ashkenazi Jewish last names are of Eastern European origin with "ski", "ovich" and "ov" in the end.
Reply:It is both Jewish and Polish. See, for the most part, Jews didn't adopt surnames until the Jewish people were mandated to. Therefore, before the Jewish people adopted surnames, the way one would identify another is by the given name, son of(ben)/daughter of(bat), their father's given name, an if their father was a Levite(HaLevi)/Cohen(HaCohen)/or neither( ). For instance, my name would be Yehoshua ben Matisyahu. When surnames were adopted, they would signify some characteristic of that person whether by profession, by description, by the town one lived in, or by descent. However, most names can be Jewish in origin, but they are also reminiscent of the country in which the surname was adopted.
