Hi everyone. I live in Argentina and "Dunayevich" in my last name. There seems to be some lack of agreement in the family about its true meaning and origin. They are Jews from around Odesa, Ukraine, but we don't look like jews, much rather like southern slavs or serbs. There is word that at some point the religion was adopted. Anyway, an old uncle said that the last name had been wrongly translated when they got here, and it originally was "Dunaievic"
Most of my family is gone now, and the trail of the name has been lost. Can anybody help me track the origins?
Thanks in advance.
