Jesenský or Jeszenszky (also Jessensky, Jessinsky, Jessensky de Gross Jessen) were a family of old Hungarian nobility of Slovak origin.
In 1271, Andrew (family name unknown) gained nobility by serving king Ladislaus IV of Hungary bravely, and got the village of Jeszent in Túróc county, and its surroundings as a gift. From that time, the family called herself as Jeszentsky, which later transformed into Jeszenszky (in Slovak spelling: Jesenský). Ladislav Jesenský died 1526 in the battle of Mohacs. All Jesenský property was confiscated by the Osmans; brothers Melchior, Lorenz and Balthasar Jesenský moved to Silesia and lived in Wrocław and Świdnica. Balthasar's son was Ján Jesenský, known as Jan Jesenius, famous scientist and politician who lived in Prague, Bohemia.
Branches of family are still living in Slovakia and Bohemia.
