My last name is Yurash. Now I never thought that my family ever knew anything about our family history because my family roots go back to Eastern and Western Europe. But, by just my last name we have been able to come up with this:
In Bosnia there is a city called: Yurashi
which means "City of Yurashes" Which means it is possible that my ancesters founded that city!
Also another kool thing is that my Grandpa says that Yurash literally means: "sailor, or sailor of the sea"
but I found out that originally, in Lithowanian tounge, Yurash means "Grandsea" so I would be called "Jessica of Grandsea"
What I think is that the very first Yurashes ever in history were sailors. Isn't that kool?! whee heart
Ooh! and ANOTHER thing about my family name is that there is rumor that actually, my ancestors name was Yurasunas.
Then, when they came to America, the guy at the deskdidn't know how to spell that so he wrote down Yurash. But who knows? neutral
