Soloveitchik
Soloveitchik (Hebrew: סולובייצ'יק Yiddish: סאָלאָווייטשיק) (also Soloveichik) is a surname. The name is a diminutive form of the Russian word соловей, "nightingale", since the Soloveitchiks are a family of Levites, who are commanded by the Torah to sing in the Beit Hamikdash. It is notably the name of a rabbinic family descended from Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (Beis Halevi) (1820-1892). Members include:
- Ahron Soloveichik (1917–2001)

- Berel Soloveitchik (1915–1981)
- Chaim Soloveitchik (1853–1918)
