Jewish names from the border of Poland and the Ukraine

This line is Jewish and immigrated to New York from the border of Poland and the Ukraine in the late 1800's.

Pensak - I looked in a Polish dictionary; might it be related to panski, meaning "nobleman"?
Spitz
Greenberg - pretty obvious, "green mountain"?
Sisselman - related to Solomon, by chance?
Pachomitsky (sp?) - only had an old handwritten paper to go by
Kalnitsky (probably) - same as above
Breines
