History
editThe name can be traced back to Ivan Ivanovich Mestmaker (German Johann von Mestmacher; 1732–1805),[1] who was the resident minister under the Prince-bishop of Lübeck, later envoy to Dresden. He was elevated to baronial level in 1777.
The name is included in the noble Matricula of the Courland Governorate and in the V part of the pedigree book of the Podolian Governorate.[2]
The State Council approved Baron Pavel Mestmaker's, nephew Viktor Viktorovich Buddha (1881-1914)[3] allowed to add to his surname - the surname and title of his adoptive parent, Baron Mestmaker and be called Baron Mestmaker-Buddha, with the right to use the family coat of arms.[4]
Coat of Arms

The shield is crowned with a baronial crown. The basting on the shield is blue, enclosed in gold.[5]
