Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yenisey is a Russian word, and it is a river system that flows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic Ocean!. His family might come from this region!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it may be a variant of :

Yenesis
First name origin & meaning:
Latin: Birth

First name variations: Genesia, Genes, Genisis, Genysis, Genesys, Genisys, Genysys, Genicis, Jenesis, GenesisWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your guess is probably very good one; since the longest river in Russian Siberia is named Yenisey!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds similar in style to Sarkozy; he may be French as well!.

The only other thing I would guess would be Irish!. Like Hennessy!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
