This relatively rare name seems to have originated in Austria and the area east. Today the largest number of people with this surname are living in Austria.

The number of Kopetzky families who came to the U.S. can be counted on two hands. There is not a known connection between the families, but that could change with DNA testing.

It would be interesting to find the origins of the name in Europe and determine whether all with this name are related through one common ancestor.
