The Mestmaker family is a Russian noble family of German origin, originally from Lübeck. Members of the family held the title of Baron in the Russian Empire. The family went extinct in 1909.

History

The name can be traced back to Ivan Ivanovich Mestmaker (German Johann von Mestmacher; 1732–1805),[1] who was the resident minister under the Prince-bishop of Lübeck, later envoy to Dresden. He was elevated to baronial level in 1777.

The name is included in the noble Matricula of the Courland Governorate and in the V part of the pedigree book of the Podolian Governorate.[2]

The State Council approved Baron Pavel Mestmaker's, nephew Viktor Viktorovich Buddha (1881-1914)[3]  allowed to add to his surname - the surname and title of his adoptive parent, Baron Mestmaker and be called Baron Mestmaker-Buddha, with the right to use the family coat of arms.[4]

The shield has a blue field and depicts an elevated golden rafter. On either side and in the middle are three black doves.
