It looks to me like a Polish name. Czechs spell the same phoneme with an "r",
with a thing on top, e.g. the composer Dvor'ak. "rz" is Polish spelling for
Korzinek , pronounced 'kozhinek" ( the "r is silent).

Yeah but I just read (on the LINGUIST mailing list, i think) that the
Czechs, or should I say C^echs, changed from +z forms to haczek forms
recently enough that family names may well be spelt both ways.
