His Yiddish name was Shmuel Akivah; his "nickname" was a shortened form, Kive (pronounced "Ki-veh"). In the US, his first name is spelled differently on different documents -- Karl/Carl, Karol, and Kive/Kiwe. The family name is also spelled differently on different documents -- Leibowitz, Liebowitz, and Lewowicz (pronounced Levovitch). According to Kive, the name was pronounced "Levovitch" or "Lebovitch" in Russian Yiddish -- a patronymic, meaning son of Lev or Leib ("Layb").
