d'Estaing family

The d'Estaing family was one of the most notable noble families of the Rouergue and Auvergne regions of France. They originated from Estaing, in the modern Aveyron department, where their châtelain was first mentioned in 1028.

The d'Estaing family became extinct in 1794 with the death of Admiral Charles Henri d'Estaing, who had no son as heir. The genealogy of the d'Estaing family has not documented any connection to the family of Giscard d'Estaing, even if the latter was permitted to add the name to its own in 1922.
