[Facts] What about -iac?
I've known a couple of people with -iac names. they were both Jewish. (Vichniac and Kluzniac). Is there a certain ethnicity associated with -iac names?

From my days as a resident of Cleveland (the largest city in Eastern Europe), I recall -iak as a Ukrainian ending and -ak as a Slovak ending. Never ran into -iac per se, unless you count the "maniacs" on City Council then.
