Aleksievich

Aleksiyevich (also Alexievich and other variants, Алексие́вич, Belarusian: Алексіевіч Ukrainian: Алексієвич) is an East Slavic family name derived from the Old East Slavic given name Aleksiy (modern Alexey). It should not be confused with patromymic with the same spelling; the difference is in the stress: the surname has the penultimate stress (i.e., on the second last syllable), while the patronymic inherits the stress of the given name, i.e., on the second syllable: Але́ексиевич.
