HUMIŃSKI: most likely from humeń (Polish verison of Ukrainian ihumeń - Eastern Orthodox abbot); possibly patronymic to indicate his son. Another possibility: Ukrianian version of Polish Gumiński.

HUMIŃSKI

Thanks, Polonius3. It is really interesting. Would you know about any sort of a database where one can find info on people with that name? Thanks beforehand.

My last name is also Huminsky, and I'm searching for my relatives. I know my sister Erin, did a family trace. My grandfather came thru Ellis Island during WWII, and shortened his last name. Records indicated that he was Polish, but in actuallity, he was Russian, and possibly Jewish. That why he fled to Ellis Island, to escape the extermination of the Jewish people. He then became a Mormon. His new name was Jacob Huminsky. A book was written about him. I will get a hold of my sister and find out anything I can. She is a very good researcher. Please reply to me about what you know. Tanks.
