Grichuk

Grichuk is a surname of Slavic origin, most often found among people of Ukrainian or Russian descent. In English-language contexts, the name is principally associated with the American professional baseball outfielder Randal Grichuk (born 1991), who has played in Major League Baseball for teams such as the St. Louis Cardinals and the Toronto Blue Jays. The spelling Grichuk reflects a transliteration convention used in North America and may correspond to related surnames such as Hryshchuk or Grishuk in Cyrillic-origin languages. Grichuk is a relatively uncommon surname with limited widespread notability outside of this bearer. Variants and related surnames may appear in diaspora communities across North America and Eastern Europe.
