[Surname] Orishenko???
i'm pretty sure this last name is russian; i can't find it's meaning..."There is more pleasure to building castles in the air than on the ground." Edward Gibbon

There is a Russian surname, Orishin, and Orishenko may be the Ukrainian equivalent. If so then it derives from a female given name, Orina, via the diminutive form, Orisha. Orina is said to be a variant of the better know Irina, Irene in English.
