The Lermontov family (Russian: Лермонтовы) is the name of a Russian noble family of Scottish origin, descended from George Learmonth (known in Russia as Yuri Andreevich Lermont [ru]).

[1] George Learmonth (Юрий Андреевич Лермонт [ru]) (1590s–1633), was poruchik in regiment of Captain-Rittmeister Jacob Shaw, during the Smolensk War (1632–1634) and Rittmeister of the Moscouvite Reiters regiment of Charles d'Ebert,[2] under command of Semen Prozorovsky.

He died in battle with units of Field Hetman of Lithuania Krzysztof Radziwiłł in August 1633.

His influence on later Russian literature is still felt in modern times, not only through his poetry, but also through his prose, which founded the tradition of the Russian psychological novel.

[3] Alexander Mikhailovich Lermontov (1838–1906) was a division commander who served in the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878).
