Now I want to know what Penzig / Piensk means. :) It fits perfectly historically, because there was a migration from the Gorlitz, Germany area (near Penzig) to the Gorlice, Poland area (from where the immigrants to American came) during a major Jewish migration in the middle ages. This is the most promising etymology yet.
