Isépy
The Isépy family (in Latin ''gens de [Magyar-]Isép''; in German von Isép) is one of the oldest surviving noble families in Hungary. Their ancestral seat was the village of Magyarizsép (since the Treaty of Trianon, Czechoslovakia, Czehoslovakia and from 1993 Slovakia; Slovak: Nižný Žipov). Name The name appears in different forms: Izsépy, Isipi, Isepi. The official version ‘Isépy’ is the archaic form of the phonetically correct ‘Izsépy’. Etymologically, the name is traced back to the Greek Εὐσέβειος or the Latin form Eusebius, which entered Hungarian as Özséb, or to the name Josef (József). History The Isépy descend from the Bogátradvány (genus), Bogát-Radvány genus, which split into six families in the mid-13th century, along with the Cseleji, House of Monok, Monoky and Rákóczi, Rákóczy. Except for the one branch of the Isépy, to which the members of the family living today can be traced back, all the others died out sooner or later. ...
