Ashkenazi Jewish family with origins in Eastern Europe.
The surname "Przedmiejski" is of Polish origin. In Polish, "przedmieście" means "suburb" or "outskirts," which comes from "przed" (before) and "mieście" (city). Thus, "Przedmiejski" likely refers to someone who lived in or originated from the suburbs or outskirts of a city.
Another possible theory is that the surname originated from Przejma Wielka, Przejma Mała or Przejma Wysoka, since many of our relatives had their name written as "Przejmianski". Przerosl is another possible place of origin.
This surname should not be confused with the surnames of other families such as Przedmiescie, Przemyski, Przedmojski, Przedborski, among others, because these are traditionally Polish Christian families. However, there is a high likelihood that it shares origins with the Predmetsky and Predmesky families.
The oldest records mentioning the family name take place in the Suwalki gubernia in the XIX century (1800s).
According to the records, the family used to live in the borderlands of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and clearly the Russian Empire.
Historical events of public knowledge caused the descendants of the family to leave Europe for places such as Israel, the United States, France, and Argentina.
Naturally, over the years and with emigration, the surname underwent changes either for convenience or due to errors by the authorities in each country.
