Americanized Surname

Classification: Query
Surnames: Starinki
My great-grandfather came to the United States in the early 1900s from Austria-Hungary. He changed both his first and last names so that people here could pronounce them more easily. His Americanized name is William Starinki. Can anyone provide clues as to what this may have been originally? Are there any Czech surnames that sound similar to Starinki?
