There are several noble families of Essen, descending from the ancient Livonian nobles, and others of a later origin. The latter include the Russian noble family of Essenes (without the prefix von), the founder of which was the St. Petersburg military governor-general, member of the state council, infantry general Pyotr Kirillovich Essen (1772–1844), elevated in 1833 to the count dignity of the Russian Empire . In 1835, the Highest was ordered to Count Yakov Ivanovich Stenbock-Fermor , married to the only daughter of Peter Kirillovich, Alexandra, to take the name of his father-in-law and be called Essen-Stenbock-Fermor.
The most numerous is the von Essen family, whose ancestor was the Ostsee nobleman Thomas von Essen. This category includes such statesmen of many countries as Hans Heinrich von Essen (Hans Heinrich, Swedish Reichs and Field Marshal, Governor General of Norway, later Governor of Scania, elevated to the rank of dignity of the Kingdom of Sweden) , Otto Wilhelm (Otto Wilhelm; State Secretary E. I. V., Privy Councilor, Senator, Comrade Minister of Justice of the Russian Empire) , Nikolai Ottovich (Russian Admiral, Commander of the Baltic Fleet, participant in the Russo-Japanese War). Descendants of the genus now live in many countries of Europe and both Americas. There are descendants in Russia.
