Seeking correct spelling of name

My grandmother's maiden name is Bilichowsky? but appears differently on every document concerning her and her siblings.
The variations are Bilachikovsky, Bilachowsky, Bilitokofsky, Beliterkofsky, Bilitakofsky, Bilaskofsky and Bilachovsky.
Could someone please clarify this for me? Thank you.

I searched on google and it came up with a spelling of Bielschowsky for a bunch of hits. Ancestry.com has a bunch documents and family trees with this name too.

spelling of name

Yours is the one version that I do not have....Does the name mean "white church" or "white steeple"?

Bielszowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyway, taking all the spellings you named in your first post into account, Bielachowski (the Polish way of spelling) makes most sense.

correct spelling of name

Thanks for your information. My grandmother was from Moshna Cherkassy Kiev. Is there a Russian version of the name?

Беляховский (pronounced /bielahovskij/ with the stress on the 3rd syllable )

Please, take into the account that both this variant of the surname spelling and the Polish one I had provided before seem to be most reasonable for me (I speak both Russian and Polish) based on several changed spellings you had provided and I can be wrong.

Regards,
Andriy

Correct spelling of name

Andriy,
Thank you for your help. I was told that the name meant white church or white steeple....would that change anything?
