Shevchenko
Shevchenko (Ukrainian: Шевчéнко [ʃeu̯ˈtʃɛnko]; alternative spellings Schevchenko, Ševčenko, Shevcenko, Szewczenko, Chevchenko) is a family name of Ukrainian origin. It is derived from the Ukrainian word shvets (Ukrainian: швець [ʃwɛtsʲ] ; compare Czech: švec), literally meaning "cobbler or shoemaker", and the suffix -enko, denoting Ukrainian descent. It is somewhat equivalent to occupational surnames: French: Cordonnier, Italian: Crispino, Spanish: Zapatero, German: Schumacher, Schumann, Schubert, and English: Shoemaker, Shoesmith, also Laster.
