On the Russian article of Iosif Unshlikht it says he was born into a rich Polish-Jewish family in the biography section so I assumed it was Yiddish. I could be wrong but that's what made me think it was Jewish. https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D0%BD%D1%88%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%85%D1%82,_%D0%98%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%84_%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87

Yiddish developed from Old High German so it shares many cognates with modern German and has many direct borrowings from it as well.

Here I found Zofia Unszlicht on a genealogy records site. According to here she's a sibling of both Iosif (Józef) and Juljan so I'll assume they're all related are one of the few families with the surname. https://www.geni.com/people/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D1%84%D1%8C%D1%8F-%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%9E%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F/6000000051036052037
