Bibi is the moniker Benjamin Netanyahu goes by.

Netanyahu was raised in Jerusalem after being born in the Israeli seaside city of Tel Aviv on October 21, 1949. His mother, Zila Segal, came from a time when the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem was governed by the Ottoman Empire. His father, Benzion, is a well-known Jewish historian and a follower of the late Zeev Jabotinsky, a hardline Zionist idealist. Benjamin Netanyahu is affectionately referred to as "Bibi" by his family and friends. He also goes by the traditional Hebrew name of Benjamin Netanyahu. His last name, Netanyahu, in the same language means "God has bestowed." This is one of the interesting facts about Benjamin Netanyahu.

Bibi was accepted as a young boy into the Henrietta Szold Elementary School in Jerusalem. The Bibi family resided in Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, from the late 1950s until the early 1960s. During his tenure in America, Netanyahu changed his name to Benjamin Ben Nitai. Later, when questioned about the reasoning for this choice, Netanyahu responded that it was made to make it simpler for Americans to say his name.

Netanyahu, who goes by the childhood moniker Bibi, attended high school in the United States, where his father held a position as a researcher and university lecturer. He is the current generation of Israeli politicians with the best command of the English language. Netanyahu also holds a master's degree in business management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
