Tyszkiewicz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyszkiewicz (Polish), Tyškievič (Belarussian), Tiškevičius (Lithuanian) , Tyshkevich (Russian) was a wealthy and influential magnate family of Belarusian/Lithuanian nobility with roots traced into the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Their nobility was reaffirmed in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Russian Empire.
The family traces its roots to the name Kalenik and derives from the hame of his son, Tysza, which reflected, e.g., in the name Tyszkiewicz-Kalenicki
Places named Tyszkiewicz Palace or "former Tyszkiewich Palace" and other historical property of the family are known in numerous towns of modern Belarus, Lithuania and Ukraine (in Palanga, Lahoisk, Raudondvaris, Berdychiv, Biržai, Kavarskas, Deltuva, Trakai, Seredžius, etc.)
