The (Jewish) Bronitsky name must have originated in the BARANOWICZE/ Baranowice district.
Bronitsky/Bronitzki/Bronicki/ ( Bronicki seems to be mostly non Jewish, Polish name)
The Jews named so must be a form of "a person from Baranowice" since
All Yad Vashem reports for the name are from the Baranowice district.

His testimony

Naftali "Tulek" Backenroth-Bronicki (d. 1993)
http://www.globes.co.il/news/home.aspx?fid=2&did=1000337845&nagish=1
He studied in agronomy in Vilna and France in order to come to Eretz Israel. He had to return to Poland ( today the area is in the Ukraine) after his father passed away. When the Soviets invaded the area (1939) he became the head agronomist for the region. in 1941 During the German occupation he was able to build up mutual trust with the Gestapo and set up a vast project that occupied hundreds of Jews, saving many of them from the Nazis. His audacity and daring knew no bounds. During the last and most complicated phase of his struggle, while the Nazis were stepping up the annihilation of Jews, Naftali Backenroth acquired the identity of a Polish Gentile, becoming Mikola Bronicki. This ingenious maneuver required him to acquire a whole array of forged documents and recruit false witnesses. Naftali's rescue enterprise had been assisted by three good Germans, officials serving the occupation administration: Eberhard Helmrich, his wife Donata Hardt-Helmrich and Berthold Beitz. All three Germans were recognized by Yad Vashem – the Holocaust memorial and museum located in Jerusalem – as "Righteous Among the Nations" – the title bestowed on gentiles who helped save Jews during the holocaust.
Lucien Bronicki (b. 1934), Naftali's son, is one of the world's foremost experts in geothermal power today. His international group of industries, Ormat Technologies Inc., registered in Nevada and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (quote ORA), has built geothermal power plants in Alaska, Nevada, California, Patagonia, the Philippines and Kenya. Ormat's developed technologies are used by power plants in dozens of other countries across the globe. Many of the technologies used by his company are based on Lucien's own inventions

BRONICKI

To: Brian <Emile@aol.com>

... I am trying to learn anything about the name: Bronicki. Do you know anything about its origin or anything else?

In Polish Bronicki is pronounced roughly "bron-EET-skee." This name would usually refer to the name of a place where the family lived at some point centuries ago, a place with a name beginning Bronic-. If they were noble, they owned an estate there; if they were peasants, they lived and worked there, or had occasion to do business there frequently. This name can also be a variant form of the very similar surnames Broniecki or Bronecki -- names that close were often confused -- in which case places with names beginning Broniec- or Bronec- or even Bronka or Bronki could also be involved.

There are several places in Poland and the neighboring countries this surname could refer to. Genealogical research is the only way to pin down which one your particular Bronickis came from. If you can locate the area they came from, you can search in that specific area instead of all over eastern Europe.

As of 1990, according to the best data available (the Slownik nazwisk wspolczesnie w Polsce uzywanych, "Directory of Surnames in Current Use in Poland," which covers about 94% of the population of Poland), there were 758 Polish citizens named Bronicki. There was no one area in which they were concentrated; a Bronicki family could come from practically anywhere.

I'm afraid the vast majority of Polish surnames just don't give you much in the way of useful clues as to exactly where a given family came from. I estimate fewer than 5% are concentrated in any one area, or have some aspect of their meaning that helps you trace them.
