Erskiy

Erskiy is a transliteration commonly used for a Russian masculine surname and for an adjectival toponym formed with the suffix -ский (-skiy). In Cyrillic, the name is written Ерский or Е́рский. The -ский suffix typically denotes relation, origin, or association, and it is widely used in Russian-language onomastics to form surnames and place names.

In English-language texts, the surname may appear as Erskiy, Yersky, or other variants, reflecting different transliteration systems. The feminine form is Erskaya, and the neuter form Erskoye may appear in place names or descriptive phrases. Because transliteration can vary, the same Cyrillic name may be rendered in several ways in English.

As a surname, Erskiy is found in Russian- and Ukrainian-language contexts and may belong to various individuals or families. No single widely recognized figure bears the name in a universally known way, but the form is a typical example of a Russian surname pattern derived from a place or family association. In toponymy, the -ский suffix is common across Russia and Ukraine, producing numerous geographic names; Erskiy itself is not a prominent standalone place name, but related forms appear in regional names and descriptors.
