Notaras was a
Greek aristocratic family. Tracing their origins back to the Byzantine period from
Monemvasia, together with Lucas Notaras as the last
megas doux of the Byzantine Empire, they gave several religious to the Greek Orthodox Church, several politicians to the
Greek kingdom and a dynasty of artists to
Romania.
