Jeszenszky or Jesenský (also Jessensky, Jessinsky, Jessensky de Gross Jessen) is the name of an old noble family in Kingdom of Hungary.
The first known ancestor of the family was András Temérdek who received lands in Túróc (Template:Lang-sk) county from king Ladislaus IV of Hungary in the 13th century. The family introduced their new surname after the name of a village "Jeszent". Initially, they called herself as Jeszentsky ("of Jeszent"), which later transformed into Jeszenszky (Jesenský). Ladislaus Jesenský died in 1526 during the catastrophic Battle of Mohács. Subsequently, all Jesenský property was confiscated by the advancing Osmans, so brothers Melchior, Lorenz and Balthasar Jesenský moved to Silesia (then part of the Crown of Bohemia) and lived in Wrocław and Świdnica from 1541 onward. Balthasar's son was Ján Jesenský, known as Jan Jesenius, famous scientist and politician who lived and died in Prague, Bohemia.
