ArchivesRe: ??????? and Szenik...
in reply to a message by Jane Sparks
The Russian word ??????? 'Shershen' means hornet. I think Senik/Szenik is a Hungarian surname... Senikow would be the Polish version of that (Russians never use a -w at the end).

I think the meaning 'hornet' may be incidental after all. New theory: Shershen is the result of transcribing 'Jerjen' into Russian alphabet and then back again. But does anyone know the origin and meaning of Jerjen?
