Suffix ‘ciuk’ ( in Ukrainian - þõë ) indicates belonging to a certain family or something else ( Pylyp – Pylypchuk - means someone from Pyplyp’s family )

- specific skills in craft , etc ( Koval – Kovalchuk , ëÏ×ÁÌØ – ëÏ×ÁÌØÞÕË - someone who is from a family of Smith or who has skills of a smith)

It doesn’t have any relations to Polish – ski . Ukrainian equivalent of it is – s’kyj ( male )
, s’ka ( female ).

Perhaps the most important thing is that this suffix is of Ukrainian origin. The person with such one for sure has Ukrainian roots. It is possible that it came from the ancient times. We are very old nation
