The Chelishchev family is a family of Russian nobility, known from the end of the 15th century.

Origin

The surname may come from the Turkic (Kazan–Tatar) nickname Chalysh, which means "oblique".^[1] In the 16th and 17th centuries, many of the Chelishchev nobles clearly had Turkic nicknames (such as, for example, Alai, Bulysh, Enaklych, Kulush, Sarmak, etc.), which may indicate an eastern origin. The knowledge of the Turkic languages is also indicated by the fact that in the years 1533–1542 the Chelishchev brothers were constantly sent to the Crimean Khanate for negotiations.

In the eighteenth century, when compiling the Herbovnik, the families of the Chelishchevs, Pantsyrevs and Glazatovs invented a common origin from the Welfs through the fictional "William of Luneburg from the generation of King Otto IV" who allegedly went "to the Grand Duke Alexander Yaroslavich to the Battle of the Neva" and adopted Orthodoxy with the name of Leon.^[2] At the same time, Mikhail Brenko, a favorite of Dmitry Donskoy, who laid down his head during the Battle of Kulikovo, was included in the number of ancestors of the Chelishchevs.

Coat of arms description

In the Herbovnik of Anisim Titovich Knyazev of 1785 there is an image of two seals with the arms of representatives of the Chelishchev family:

Coat of arms of the court adviser Efim Petrovich Chelishchev: in the golden field of the shield from the upper edge are two yellow pipes, between them a blue flower on a green stem. Under the shield are two palm branches. The shield is covered with a princely mantle with a noble crown on it.
Coat of arms of the Privy Councilor (1798), Senator (1801), Alexei Bogdanovich Chelishchev: two yellow pipes are depicted in the golden field of the shield. The shield is crowned with a noble helmet with a kleinod on the neck, three ostrich feathers come out of the helmet. On the middle feather, between the two extremes, at a distance from the helmet is a noble crown. The color scheme of basting is not defined.^[3]
