Polish term

Szczurko

Polish to English Other Names (personal, company)
I'm really not sure if this is a Polish name or not, while the only information I know is that "Szczurko" is a person's family name. Would anyone please clarify a possible transliteration of this name into English with syllable examples (ex. "Sh" of "ship", "sur" of "surface", etc.)?

If it is not Polish and you may guess what language the name is associated, I would appreciate you would tell me that as well.

agree amouse (X) : Good explanation but Szczurko is really a slavic name that can also be Ukrainian (i.e. - ko) Much in the same way that -ski generally identifies Polish surnames and -sky would generally signify Ukrainian lastnames. Simplified pronounciation = Stir-ko :-)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for a quick answer. So, it's close to the 5 syllables "sh ch u r ko" with the accent on "u"? Helps a lot, thank you! -"
