Merged: -IN ending family names...

Hello everyone, I wonder how about polish names ending with -IN? Is it common?

I want to clarify something, the name Minkin for example can be find in Poland, Belarus, South Russia and Ukraine....

Boundaries changed, and this name was given to jewish and non-jewish people. how many people does actually have it in Poland?

If you go in Poland which such name, will people assume that you can be polish or they'll think right away you're

jewish/russian/belarussian?

Thanks
