Found out that one of my ancestors was married to a woman whose last name was "Linkish". What type of name is that? Doesn't seem to be common at all. Actually her full name is listed as "Salemaha Linkish", which makes it even more strange. Just curious on the origin of this name.

My uneducated guess is that it is of English or Scottish origin. The "ish," as used in English surnames like Standish and others, seems to indicate so, anyway. A cursory search revealed that their are only eight people in the U.S. with that surname, so it is rare. According to some online information, people with the surname Linkish are more likely found in Pennsylvania and West Viginia.
You really can't tell from a name alone what the origin is. There are many surnames found in many countries. You have to research the person, and find out where they're from.
