Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper
What is the country of origin for that name (not the piper part - he's her step Dad)
Heide Marie is swiss/french origin, but Stefanyshyn?
Just curious.

Probably Russian or Ukrainian. It's more commonly spelled with "i" instead of "y", and is a derivation from Stephanish or Stephanich.

She's American, but I believe her father is a Ukrainian immigrant.

After further research, it's definitely Ukranian.
