Etymology and form: The surname is typically formed with the adjectival suffix -ский (-skiy) attached to a stem that may be derived from a place name or from a descriptive root. In many cases such surnames indicate origin from a locality or settlement, though the precise root and geographic source can vary by family and region. Without specific genealogical evidence, the exact origin of a given family bearing the name cannot be determined.

Distribution and usage: Surnames with the -ский suffix are common in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and other Slavic naming traditions. The form Dobruskii appears in archival and contemporary records, but it is not among widely documented or globally prominent surnames, and individual family histories may differ substantially in origin and migration.

Notable people: There are no widely recognized individuals with the surname Dobruskii who have standalone encyclopedia entries. It is possible that individuals bearing this name have historical or contemporary significance in local contexts, but such chances would be found in localized or specialized sources rather than broad reference works.
