The discussion of surnames and how a person's occupation, trade, or profession may have played an important role in developing certain surnames continues. Please keep in mind that some surnames were adopted due to the sound, the secondary meaning, or for other purposes, and the family may not have ever performed the occupation defined by the surname.
SCHUPACK: A dealer in fish, from the Russian for pickerel. Also appears as Schupakevitch. In Polish, the word Szupak means sandpaper and indicates a cabinet maker.
[from the Jewish Geneological Society of St. Louis]
