Separate article

Created a separte article for Ukrainian surnames, from the Ukrainian names article, to distinguish better between Given names and surnames in Ukraien --BezosibnyjUA (talk) 15:45, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By popularity?

I'm not convinced that the section on 'most popular' is relevant. As it stands, I've changed it to 'most common' as surnames are inherited, not chosen for or by an individual. In fact, all it reflects is the most common names in Ukraine currently. If you were to take a look at a phone directory in any given country, you'd probably find a lot on non-indigenous surnames. My interpretation of what the subject "Ukrainian surnames" should cover is the morphology, etymology and evolution of surnames per the ethnic group. I'd consider this to be more of a stand-alone list than something to be appended to the body of the article without performing any useful function.

As a stand-alone list, I don't see it meeting relevant criteria. There are already two categories for the page, being "Ukrainian-language surnames" and "Surnames of Ukrainian origin" which I would consider to be adequate.

Unless someone has relevant objections, I'll be removing this section. Please voice your opinion ASAP. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:26, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-ko

-ko is from the Circassians]], it means "son of". the -ko is not of the Ukrainian language for surnames.

Yaremko is a Caucasian surname meaning "son of Yarem", derived from the Aryan name Yarem and the Circassian suffix -ko. Yaremko's Ukrainian form is "Yaremchuk."
