[Surname] origin of surname Spivakovsky
I believe this is a relatively rare surname and I can only hazard a guess at Eastern-European (possibly Russian?) origins. I'm hoping someone more educated than I am can give me at least a better idea of where it might originate or at least where there is a larger number of occurrences.Many thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer!
