The Mestmaker family is a Russian noble family of German origin, originally from Lübeck. Members of the family held the title of Baron in the Russian Empire. The family went extinct in 1909.

History[edit]

The name can be traced back to Ivan Ivanovich Mestmaker (German Johann von Mestmacher; 1732–1805),[1] who was the resident minister under the Prince-bishop of Lübeck, later envoy to Dresden. He was elevated to baronial level in 1777.

The name is included in the noble Matricula of the Courland Governorate and in the V part of the pedigree book of the Podolian Governorate.[2]

The State Council approved Baron Pavel Mestmaker's, nephew Viktor Viktorovich Buddha (1881-1914)[3]  allowed to add to his surname - the surname and title of his adoptive parent, Baron Mestmaker and be called Baron Mestmaker-Buddha, with the right to use the family coat of arms.[4]

Coat of Arms[edit]

The shield has a blue field and depicts an elevated golden rafter. On either side and in the middle are three black doves.

The shield is crowned with a baronial crown. The basting on the shield is blue, enclosed in gold.[5]
