Having a hard time tracking down this surname, some close hits come up on the Lemko site. Anyone heard of it?

Have you considered it might be Scottish?

MACHNIC is rare but exists (3 bearers); Machnica is more common (183). Could well have been os Scottish origin.

That makes sense as they came from near Hummene in Slovakia and spoke "Slavish".
