Is leonczuk or leonchuk or gryszuk or gryszyk a ashkenazi jewish surname?

Question

some people have told me leonczuk/leonchuk means ''son of lion'' can anyone help me out ? :)

Answer 1

it could be an an ashkenazi name, its a polish origin.

and leon means lion

Answer 2

If you go to the section on "Travel", click on the sub-section "Africa & Middle East", then "Israel" you will be more likely to find a Contributor who can help.

If it is a Jewish surname then it sounds Ashkenazi rather than Sephardi; the only name meaning "son of the lion" I know is Ben Areye (sp?) but I'm not Jewish and you really need someone who is.

Answer 3

It's either Czech or Polish, and could certainly mean son of lion, but the second name sounds very Polish and not Jewish.
