Erskih

Erskih is a surname of Slavic origin, most plausibly transliterated from Cyrillic Эрских or Ерских. The ending -ский (-skiy) is a common suffix in Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian surnames, typically forming adjectives meaning “belonging to” or “from” a place or family. The root Ers- could be derived from a personal name, a place, or a nickname, but there is no single established origin. Transliteration variants include Erskikh, Erskich, Erskiy, and related forms, reflecting differences in converting Cyrillic to Latin alphabets and in language-specific pronunciation.

In practice, the surname appears in historical and contemporary records across countries of the former Russian Empire and its successor states, though it is not among the most common Slavic surnames. Bearers may be found in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and diaspora communities worldwide. Like many -skiy surnames, it may be encountered in genealogical and archival research, often requiring variant spellings to locate records.

There is no widely recognized entry for a person, organization, or place named Erskih in major reference works. If encountering the name in a document, treating it as a surname and considering transliteration alternatives is advisable.
