Itskovich

Itskovich is a surname of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. It is a patronymic name formed from the given name Itzik (a Yiddish form of Isaac), with the Slavic suffix -ovich or -vich, meaning "son of." Accordingly, Itskovich would historically denote "son of Itzik."

The name is found among Jewish communities in Eastern Europe and among diaspora populations. Variants of the surname include Itskovitch, Itzkowicz, Itskovych, Itskowich, and Itzkovich, reflecting different transliterations from Cyrillic and Hebrew alphabets as well as Polish, Ukrainian, or Russian phonology.

Geographic distribution has long roots in areas with Ashkenazi populations such as Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia, and in later centuries in Israel, the United States, Canada, and other countries of the Jewish diaspora.

As with many surnames of Ashkenazi origin, Itskovich is carried by many families with diverse histories, and the name does not designate a single lineage.
