Yuryevsky
The House of Yuryevsky was the name of the Russian noble family that originated from the second, morganatic marriage of Emperor Alexander II of Russia to Princess Ekaterina Dolgorukova. Members of this family were styled as Prince Yuryevsky (Russian: Юрьевский - masculine) or Princess Yuryevskaya (Russian: Юрьевская - feminine). The family name was made as an homage to Princess Ekaterina's descent from Yuri Dolgorukiy, Prince of Rostov and Suzdal.
