Ehrnrooth family
Finnish noble family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ehrnrooth family is a Swedish and Finnish noble family of German origin. It originated from Pomerania, and came to Finland from Livonia around 1600. Its status descends from Johan Plagman (1623–1696), who was raised to Swedish nobility in 1687. The family was registered in the Finnish House of Nobility in 1818.[1][2] Members of the Ehrnrooth family have historically belonged to the Swedish-speaking population of Finland.
