Lesser Coat of arms


The House of Gantimurov[1] (Russian: Гантимуровы) is a Russian princely family of Evenks.

History

They have descended from the Manchu chieftain Gantimur or Gantömör (Mongolian Gan: steel; tömör: iron), who came to live in Russia in 1667. The descendants of Gantimur were confirmed as Russian princes by a royal decree in 1686. They established the village of Karymskoye in Dauria. Their heraldic emblem is contained in the 17th part of the Gerbovnik. Wassily Kandinsky's great-grandmother was born Princess Gantimurov.
