The surname Ugoretz is also spelled Ugorets and is of Russian origin. It means, in Russian, a person of Hungarian origin and most commonly was used by Jews who migrated from Hungary into the Russian Empire as part of the Hassidic movement started in the 1740s by Israel Ben Eliezer, the "Baal Shem Tov". He was a Kabbalist and miracle worker who established his ministry in what is now West Ukraine.

 

In spite of the resurgence of Nazism and anti-semitism in Ukraine, Jews from all over the world still come every year on a pilgrimage to the places where the Baal Shem Tov lived and worked.
