The Zhitomirsky family (Yiddish: זשיטאָמירסקי) is a Jewish family originating from present-day Ukraine. The earliest known members of the family lived in Bakhmut and Mariupol. Their descendants moved to Taganrog, now part of Russia, where they became known as a "dynasty of academics" as many of them engaged in research.[1]
