History
Its origins have been lost, but the two prevalent theories are that they were either a local family originating in a village which has a related name or else one that arrived with the
hospodars – Princes Constantine and Alexander. Constantine's great grandson Demetrius fled to Russia after the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, where his progeny was permitted to use their Princely title in 1893 and later in 1905. Members of the family remained in Romania and Bessarabia until the Soviet
occupation post-World War II.
