Mileikowsky

Mileikowsky (Russian: Милейковский; Polish: Milejkowski; Hebrew: מיליקובסקי) is a Russian Jewish surname, possibly related to the villages of Milików and Milikowo in Poland or other places with similar names in Russia and Belarus.[1] It is often inaccurately associated with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu (born 1949), although he has never legally borne the surname. People who were born with the name include:

  • Benzion Mileikowsky (1910–2012), Polish-born Israeli encyclopedist, historian and medievalist, father of Benjamin Netanyahu
  • Nathan Mileikowsky (1879–1935), Russian-born Zionist political activist, Rabbi and writer, grandfather of Benjamin Netanyahu
