Etymology
Lubavitch names a Jewish religious movement and comes from the town name Lubavichi in what is now Belarus. The town name has a Slavic root lyub meaning 'love' or 'beloved', so you can remember Lubavitch as the 'people of Lubavichi', a name that fits the group's warm hospitality and outreach.
