Callimachi family

The House of Callimachi, Calimachi, or Kallimachi (Greek: Καλλιμάχη, Russian: Каллимаки, Turkish: Kalimakizade; originally Calmașul or Călmașu), was a Phanariote family of mixed Moldavian (Romanian) and Greek origins, whose members occupied many important positions in Moldavia, Romania and the Ottoman Empire.

Originating in the boyardom of Orhei County, it gave Moldavia four reigning princes.

The family remains present today in modern Romania.
