Subject: RE: American surname Clement- Russian?
Here's a few from this site: http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/psa/lodzsurn.htm

The names come from Polish-language lists and transliterations of Russian-language lists, so that the spelling of a name may vary depending on its source. In particular, the letters "i" and "j" are interchangeable, as are "h" and the sound "ch", and the letter "h" may sometimes appear as "g".
