Eremkovsky

Eremkovsky is a surname of Slavic origin. Its etymology is believed to be derived from a diminutive form of the given name Eremey, which is the East Slavic variant of Jeremiah. Jeremiah is a Hebrew name meaning "God will exalt." The suffix "-sky" is a common East Slavic possessive or locational suffix, indicating "belonging to" or "from" a place or person. Therefore, Eremkovsky can be interpreted as "son of Eremey" or "from the place associated with Eremey."

Like many surnames, its exact origin can be traced to individual families who adopted it over centuries.
