The name JUPINA (or sometimes JUPENA) in the USA generally originated from the name DZUPINA (see first message in DZUPINA message board). Indeed, almost everyone of whom I am aware who is or was called JUPINA can be traced back to ancestors coming from the region of the modern Slovak Republic near to Trebisov in the east of the country. I am aware of only one North American family called JUPINA/JUPENA that can trace its roots back to the name DZUPINA and which did NOT come from this area of the Slovak Republic. (This family originates from Reneta Hambro in Hungary, north of Budapest, but this is not so far from Trebisov!)
JUPINA is my wife's family name. I am interested in contact with anyone else who is related to a DZUPINA or JUPINA or JUPENA.
