Etymology

Lyubavichi comes from a Slavic root lyub meaning 'love' and a common village ending -vichi meaning 'people of' or 'place of a family'. The town is also known in Yiddish as Lubavitch and was the home of the Chabad movement, so the name points to the family or community who lived there and helps you remember the place's link to that group.
