Etymology
The name Chomsky is a Slavic family name: the ending -sky means 'from' or 'of' and it probably points to a place called Chomsk in Eastern Europe. So Chomsky originally told people the family was 'from Chomsk', which makes it easy to remember that the name shows where the family came from.
