The House of Paszkiewicz is a Polish noble family, of Lithuanian- Belarusian origin. The Polish-language surname originates from Paskevich, a Belarusian surname, which ultimately comes from the East Slav personal name Pashka, a diminutive of Pavel (Paul).[1] The ending -kiewicz indicates the Belarusian language influence.[citation needed][2]
