The Jewish family name Shklovsky or Shklover indicates that the person or their ancestors come from Shkloŭ.
Built by the Perushim, it was named after their leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov and after the blessing of consolation recited on Tisha B'Av: "Blessed be He who consoles (menachem) Zion and rebuilds Jerusalem".
