Ваши предположения: откуда берется слово "чучмек"?

Chichimeca was the name that the Mexica (Aztecs) generically applied to a wide range of semi-nomadic peoples who inhabited the north of modern-day Mexico. The name was adopted with a pejorative tone by the Spaniards when referring especially to the semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer peoples of northern Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichimec)

Внешнее сходство - еще не означает родственности. Японское "гайдзин" вряд ли родственно ивритскому "гой" :-)

а западно-украинскому "гадза" (хозяин) ? :-)
