not Polish or Romainian just asked some of the guys with me now, very similiar to a friend of my ex-wife she was Croatian from the northern region bordering Hungary so i would say from either of those countries.
Truth hurts good answer though after speaking with ex family they think croatian with your spelling
but names also work the other way round I wanted to call my son cieran with the welsh spelling but all my ex-wifes relatives would have said it as sieran so spelt it the irish way with a K, the welsh alphabet does not have a K glad i did listen to her advice lots of other nationalities including american would have been pronouncing it in many wierd ways

Probably (former) Yugoslavian...! (viz: Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, etc...)
It is DEFINITELY NOT Polish...! - NOR Czech...! But almost certainly the (slightly changed) name of someone whose father probably originated much further south - in (one of) the former Yugoslavian ("South Slav") countries of the Balkans...
Deskevich - I bet - started out as Deskevic... However, adding the letter "h" to make "ich" is a deliberate miss-spelling - to suit 'stoopid' Americans who simply cannot get their heads around making a "ch" sound when faced with names that end in "ic" ...!
Many Russians too have names ending in "ic" - also pronounced "ich" - but in the UK and Western Europe the vast majority of "ic"s to be found are Serbian or Croatian. Check out any Serb or Croat national football or basketball team - you'll see what I mean...! At least 9 out of 10 names will end in "ic" - (which too many ill-informed western commentators frequently mispronounce - as if it were - "ik"...!!!)
