 ..who knew is right!  To quote one of the heredity dictionaries, Ukraine oblasts also have variants that are
 
 MATRONYMICAL (meaning the feminizing suffices(?) of  family names can be added at the end of the unpronounceable double-barreled names of the current generation  PS: If this don't fly, thedouble-switches MATRIMONIALLY & MATRIMONIAL are others

Yeah, you know ..how the British have Lady Smith-Jones, for example ..
 well, the e.g. I found for matronymical Ukrainian names were
 
 Ivano-Frankivsk and (the matronymical) Ivano-Frankivshchyna ...I might get the Ivano- part right, but I'm not trying to pronounce the latter half  ( I couldn't even TYPE it right the first time, much less say it)

 in the hope that finding something even remotely viable will enable someone to see yet another iteration to keep us going..
