Origin of Medvinsky name
A well-known specialist on the origin of Jewish names, Alexander Beider says that Medvinskis originally lived in Ukraine and more exactly, probably in the shtetl Medvin of Boguslav region of the Kiev gubernia. Medvinsky is not only a Jewish name it occurs often among other peoples too.
By the end of the 19-th century people with the name Medvinsky already lived throughout major part of the Kiev gubernia. They lived in Tarasch, Kanev, Korsun, Berdichev, Belaya Tserkov and others. With the beginning of the great immigration of Jews from Russia, part of them left to Argentina, part to the USA and part to Palestine (Israel).
Dear representatives of the Medvinsky clan
We would like to invite you to help us ressurect the history of your family, to link up the branches of your family tree and to find relatives abroad. Among Jews, due to the manner in which family names were acquired and passed down, there are relatively few people who, although unrelated, bear the same surname as one another. The majority of Jewish people who bear a certain family name can usually trace their roots back to a common ancestor about 5-6 generations back. Further, when two Jewish people bear the same surname, they are usually members of the same broader 'clan', descended of the same extended family.Resurrect your History - for he, who owns the Past also owns the Future.
