The House of Kochubey was originally a Ukrainian noble family of Crimean Tatar origin, later becoming Russian princely family.
Members of the family held significant positions in the Cossack Hetmanate and later in the Russian Empire. Over the years many representatives of the family held high government positions. On 6 December 1831 the family was awarded with the title Prince in the Russian Empire by Nicholas I of Russia.[1]
