Your Ukrainian last name is so much more than just a way to be “different” in Ukrainian culture. You may have heard your Ukrainian last name mentioned alongside names such as “Boryspita” and “Ryker”. Perhaps you’ve even seen the word “kyle” thrown around casually. Your Ukrainian last name is not just a way to be “different” in Ukrainian culture. It is a way to live a more productive and fulfilling life.
Using a Ukrainian last name for a Ukrainian man or a Ukrainian woman is like using an Italian as a last name for a Swiss man or a Russian as a last name for a Russian. By using your Ukrainian last name you are living a more successful and satisfying life. It is like using another name for your social life or your first name for your profession.
