Name «Skoryk»

The name "Skoryk" is a truncated-suffix formation derived from the two-root name model Skoromyr (Ilchev 453), Skorovoy, or Skoroslav (Grk 180). The name was first recorded in 1649 in the naming of the Cossack of the Kaniv Regiment, Vasko Skoryk (RVZ 123), and in 1666: Andriy Skorykъ (PK113). However, the patronymic from this name is recorded slightly earlier, specifically in 1649: Skorykovъ (R 81). There is also a modern surname Skoryk (Redko 970).
