My grandfather's surname was Braziler and no one knows what it could mean. I doubt that any of my ancestors could have come to Ukraine from Brazil.

What does the phrase “ Hoity Toity “ mean ?

[@motldidner1850]

Although it certainly sounds Yiddish, "hoity toity" is apparently an English expression dating back to the 17th Century.
