ArchivesRe: to what ethnic background the last name was originally associted with
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
I would agree with all that.
The name is extant in Poland as Lazik and £azik, but not common, a couple of hundred of each. It was there in the 18th century so Poland is probably the ancestral home. Of course, Ukraine was part of the Polish Commonwealth in the 18th century. Then in the late 18th c. Eastern Poland, Ukraine, et al. became part of the Russian Empire. So I suppose in theory it's possible for a family to be Polish or Ukrainian Polish, then Russian without moving from the one spot.
