Welcome to the Forum jyashi,

I would transcribe your 'Yashinovitz' into Polish spelling as 'Jasinowicz' or 'Jasienowicz'. These surnames derive from Polish jasion, jesion - "ash tree".

There are not too many people who bear Jasinowicz surname, only 33 - see map: https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Jasinowicz . And there are a little more using Jasienowicz surname - 88, map: https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Jasienowicz .

Listen how the surnames are pronounced in Polish: http://say.expressivo.com/jacek/jasinowicz and http://say.expressivo.com/jacek/jasienowicz .
