Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [400]

Hi there - I'm looking for info on 'Posluszny'. I've seen it is meant to mean 'obedient' and that it is supposedly a Jewish name, but is there any additional information available on this name? Thanks!!

@kaprys
Thanks for this! I eventually got my answers re: the Hungarian part. Turns out they modified the spelling to retain the phonetic pronunciation they were accustomed to.

I have new questions now (although these are open to anyone) -- Do you have any knowledge of either Hudy or Myszka? I think I've seen something about Myszka meaning 'mouse' but I'm not sure if there's anything more out there, or anything about Hudy.

Thanks!

Hi there! I'm trying to get some more information re: the surname Benisz. It seems like my (Catholic) family likely came from the Sosnowiec area of Poland, but I'm also seeing (Jewish) people from the same name from Hungary/Ukraine around the same time. It doesn't seem like the surname is all that common, so I'm wondering if these lines are connected and possibly what may have been more predominate (?) as a religion/culture (Jewish/Catholic). Thanks!!
