The House of Babanin (Russian: Бабанины [babaninɨ]) is a noble family that originated in the Tsardom of Russia.[1][2] The family comes from Avksentiev Trufanovich (Авксент Труфанович) (1588–1620), who had two sons: Kir (Кир - Cyrus) and Ivan (Иван). The House of Babanin was recorded in the pedigrees of the VI part of the books of the provinces of Voronezh, Kursk, and Tula. The Babanin heraldry was included in the Armorial General of the nobility of the Russian Empire.[1]
Another branch of the House of Babanin appeared in the 17th century with the head originating from Tula by the name of Roman Nikitich (Роман Никитич), whose grandfather was Vasily Stapanovich Babanin (Василий Степанович Бабанин), a duman clerk, who participated in the contact with the Poles in 1686.[1][2]
