ArchivesVoronetski or Voronetsky--info on the name?
Voronetski is my great-grandmother's maiden name. I was told that she was Polish, but that is not definite. She lived in the southern part of Ukraine (small town called Balta or Bulta, half a day on a train north from Odessa), but she moved there(was born elsewhere). Her moving must have happened before 1937 (that's when my grandmother was born), so I am wondering about her possible background and ethnic origin, as well as of the name itself.
I would appriciate any related info.

You can spell it either way - Voronetsky or Voronetski, typically ending on "y" means polish origin, "i" - ukranian. But it is not a rule.
In my search the voronetky(i)=woronetski(y) clan came to Ukraine and Russia from polish nobility (if I don't mistaken) in 16 century.
If you are really interested to find out more about nowday V. post another message here.
And yes root of the name means raven, but it is too obvious.

...the surname "Voronetsky" appears to be derived from the Russian word "voron", meaning "raven".
