Origin
Meaning and origin of Dzurick
The surname Dzurick originated in the Slavic countries of Eastern Europe, likely in the region that is now modern-day Poland or Ukraine. It is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages, sometime between the 11th and 15th centuries.
The name is thought to be derived from the Slavic root word "dzur," which means "hole" or "pit." This suggests that the earliest bearers of the name may have lived near a notable hole or pit in the landscape, or perhaps worked in occupations related to digging or mining.
While no definitive references to the name Dzurick have been found in ancient manuscripts or records such as the Domesday Book, it is possible that early variations of the spelling existed in local parish records or other regional documents from that time period.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Dzurick was Jan Dzurick, born around 1520 in the village of Krakow, Poland. He was a farmer and landowner, and his descendants can be traced through parish records in the region for several generations.
Another notable bearer of the name was Mariya Dzurick, a Ukrainian folk artist born in 1768 in the village of Khotyn. She was renowned for her intricate embroidery work and her pieces were collected by the local gentry.
In the 19th century, Stepan Dzurick (1823-1897) was a prominent lawyer and political activist in the city of Lviv, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He campaigned for greater rights and representation for the region's Slavic population.
Yuri Dzurick (1867-1923) was a Russian-born engineer who played a key role in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects of the late 19th century.
Finally, Olga Dzurick (1901-1979) was a Polish-born writer and poet who gained recognition for her works exploring themes of identity, displacement, and the experience of immigrants in the early 20th century.
These are just a few examples of individuals who have carried the surname Dzurick throughout history, reflecting its roots in Eastern European Slavic cultures and its enduring presence across various professions and walks of life.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Dzurick surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
