About Aminoff Family:

 

Aminoff is a noble family of Russian origin. Its family members live in Sweden and in Finland, and its genealogy branches are represented in Sweden's and Finland's Houses of Nobility. Aminoffs were introduced to the Swedish House of Nobility in 1650 with the number of 446, and to the Finnish House of Nobility in 1836 with the number of 36.

Aminoffs are offspring of Russian Boyar Feodor Aminev (died 1628) who was knighted in 1618. Aminev was the castle commander in Novgorod, which was conquered by the King of Sweden Gustav II Adolf in 1612. Feodor Aminev's mother was Princess Helena Ivan's daughter Golitsin, daughter of Great Novgorod's Governor, Prince Ivan Juri's Son Golitsin.

Aminoff's is a traditional military family but in the 1900s and 2000s they have been involved more in business and industry and as public servants. Aminoff noble family is still active, and it has plenty of family members in Sweden and in Finland.
