Lewinsky

Literally "son or descendant of Levi", thus a Levi (or Levite). The name is Ashkenazic Jewish in origin.

Surprisingly, there was a noble family in Poland named Lewinski (according to Wikipedia). Monica Lewinsky (as far as I know or care to know... well, as far as I know; though now I'm interested in looking up whether Miss Lewinsky) is not related to the Jewish nobles in Poland.

Mohammedism

Both the correct and a supposedly-archaic name for "Islam", Mohammedism is actually the proper name of the religion of Mohammed.

The politically-incorrect and scary part was that Usama bin Laden was an Orthodox follower and proponent of Mohammedism.

Ax

How OJ Simpson might say "Ask". On his part, it would be a pun intended... or maybe not.

"Can I ax you a question?" (Pray that OJ Simpson never "ax"s you this.)

Koenigstein

A German and Ashkenazic Jewish variant of "Koenig" or "King"; and in some cases, "Koenig" may well be a variant of "Kohein"-- given that the German "Koenig" means "King" and koheinim (priests) were the head caste in Ancient Israel.

Woody Allen was born as a "Koenig", but not a "Koenigstein".

Czernikowski

An Ashkenazic Jewish and Slavic surname, "Czernikowski" (pronounced "T'sh-er-nee-kov-skee") is a name related to "Black" ("Czarny" or "Czarna") or a place name (e.g., "Czarnia" for the Czarna or Czarnia River in Northeastern Poland).

Unfortunately, a number of Holocaust victims bore the name "Czernikowski" (according to YadVashem.org). The Czernikowski family often cited by Yad Vashem seems to come from the Lodz and Kielce, Poland regions (among other places).
