Shuski-Zewski-Chuski

Hello,
I was told that my grandpa's last name sounded like Shuski-Zewski or Chuski and he was born in Warsaw in 1891. His death certificate does not list mother or father. He left Warsaw with an uncle at 12 years old, never became a US citizen, took a completely different name and he spoke 3-4 languages.

Can you tell me what would be a proper or similar name based on what I provided? Thanks, Lilly

Could it have been Huey, Luey and Duey? ;)

Chuski is the most likely of the 3, I'd say. It may be Szuski as Poles don't use Sh like this.

She already inquired about it in February last year, under another Lilly's nick, and was given a probable name Szuski by Polonius3.

Lilly1953:
I would say, short names like this, sounding Polish, but with no particular meaning attached, are very likely Jewish. The Prussian and Austrian administration followed some strange patterns when assigning names to Jews in 19 c. Other typical examples of Jewish short names are: Orski, Zorski.

There are hundreds of references related to this topic, do your own work, Lilly. Here are just two, randomly chosen.

SZUMSKI
SZUSKI

But frankly, I am not sure what you are hoping to find if you do not even know for sure what name you are looking for.

I know a Szumski here.

SZUSKI exists but is extremely rare. Possible etymology: szus (leap), szust (noise); Schuster (German for cobbler); Polish spelling Szuster; toponymic sources include Szustek and Szustry.
