  • The Kurki or Kurck family, also known as the family of , is a medievally-originated Finnish noble family that produced several historically prominent persons. It is documented in the late 14th century. The family is usually divided in several lineages as it continued through female succession. Please observe that no one surnamed Kurki who lived in Finland after the 17th century is descended from this family through documentarily proven agnatic lineage. The surname is common in Finland, and has been used by several other former or current unrelated families. The medieval Kurki family held the manor of Laukko at least since the 14th century, until the beginning of the 19th century. A seal of a member of this family is known already from the early 15th century. It depicts a common crane, which is kurki in Finnish. However, the coat of arms of the family since the 15th century depicts a sword with three stars (lady Elin's coat of arms, and later confirmed in the 1st baron's coat of arms at the Swedish House of Nobility when the baronial rank was obtained in 1652). In 1797, (1735–1810) was created a Swedish count, but his branch became extinct. (en)
  • Kurck, Kurke, var tre medeltida frälseätter från Finland som förde olika vapen, när de förde vidare namnet Kurck via spinnsidan. Namnet Kurke eller Korke, sedermera Kurck, kommer av finska "kurki", trana, som i början av 1400-talet återfinnes i sigillet för en av bärarna av detta namn, riddaren och häradshövdingen i Frösåkers härad Nils Kurke som var gift med Cecilia Filipsdotter (Bjälboättens oäkta gren). En av de yngre ätterna, vars namn upptogs från den äldre via en gren på spinnsidan, fick friherrlig värdighet och introducerades på nummer 16 i Sveriges Riddarhus men utslocknade 1946. (sv)
