not even sure how to spell the original, but it is pronounced jukavitch, i remember seeing it once, it had like 15 letters, very few vowels
Could be Dziukiewicz, but the only problem with it is that it has more vowels (exactly five) than surname Schawitsch (two only). One of those American prejudices. :-)
Surname Dziukiewicz fits the bill because, according to Stankiewicze.com, the name comes from
1. the dialect verb "dziugać się", to skate - especially on one skate,
2. the dialect verb "dziugnąć", Polish "uderzyć", to hit someone
3.
from Kashubian verb "dżugnąć", to hit someone. Also - to toss off a glass of alcohol, drink to the bottom
4. from the verbs "dziubać, dzióbać" - to peck
