surname origin

[sjoyce]

I have been trying to find out what the origin of the name "Manchulenko" might be. It does not seem to be a very common name. I know my husbands ancestors arrived in Mytkov (sp?) a few generations ago, but that is all. The family story is that a Manchulenko woman of high regard arrived in that area with three sons. Wish we knew the rest

Hello Joyce,

Your surname, Manchulenko/МАНЧУЛЕНКО , shows up in these villages:
БЕДРИКІВЦІ/Bedrykivtsi (there is one in Zalyschyky r--n > Ternopilska oblast
and one in Horodotskij r--n in Khmelnytska oblast), ЧЕРНІВЦІ/Chernivtsi,
ВІКНО/Vikno (there is one in Horodenka r--n> Ivano-Frankivsk - Prykarpathia area,
there is another in Zastavskij r--n > Chernivtsi and the last for your consideration is the
one in Husyatyn > Ternopilska oblast). МИТКІВ you know. КОЛОДРІБКА/Kolodribka
> Zalyschyky> Ternopil (lots of Cossacks stayed behind - Manchulenko could be Cossack surname???),
МАМАЇВЦІ/Mamayivtsi > Kitsman > Chernivtsi (another one of those Cossack villages,
probably named after Mamayivtsi Cossacks), and БАНИЛІВ/Banyliv > Vyzhnytskij r--n> Chernivtsi.
