Mileikowsky (surname)

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. 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
