Yaushev family

The family is a branch of the Ar begs aristocratic clan and descents from Yaush (Russian: Яуш), a nobleman mentioned in chronicles related to the Siege of Kazan in 1552.

[1] Descendants of Yaush were Serving Tatars in Russia and were granted Russian noble title and land by Ivan the Terrible.

A branch of the larger Yaushev clan became a prominent merchant family in the 19th and early 20th century by trading between Russia and Central Asia.

The family firm was known as the Trading House of the Yaushev Brothers (Russian: Торговый дом братьев Яушевых) in the early 20th century.
