Zeysky

Zeysky is a surname of Russian origin. It is derived from the name of the city of Zeya in Amur Oblast, Russia. The suffix "-sky" is a common Russian adjectival suffix, often used to indicate origin or belonging. Therefore, Zeysky literally translates to "of Zeya" or "from Zeya".

The city of Zeya itself is named after the Zeya River, a major tributary of the Amur River. The river's name is believed to have indigenous origins, possibly from the Evenki word "dzhē" meaning "river" or "water". Historically, the region around Zeya was inhabited by various indigenous peoples before the arrival of Russian settlers.

As a surname, Zeysky would have likely been adopted by individuals or families who either originated from the city of Zeya, had strong ties to the region, or perhaps were involved in activities related to the Zeya River or its surrounding areas. Like many Russian surnames, it has been carried by individuals throughout Russia and in the diaspora. The prevalence of the surname Zeysky is not exceptionally high, suggesting it is not one of the most common Russian surnames. Individuals bearing this surname can be found in various professions and walks of life.
