Numerous pieces of art or geographic locations were named after the family, such as the [[Galitzin Triptych]] created by [[Pietro Perugino]] in 1485 or the [[String Quartet No. 12 (Beethoven)|Galitzine Quartet No. 12]] commissioned by [[Nikolai Borisovich Galitzin|Nikolai Galitzin]] and delivered by [[Ludwig van Beethoven]] in 1825, the [[Golitsyn (crater)|Golitsyn craters A]] and [[Fryxell (crater)|B]] on the [[far side of the Moon]], the [[Gallitzinberg]], in Vienna, the [[Gallitzin, Pennsylvania|Gallitzin borough in Pennsylvania]], the [[Gallitzin Tunnel]] and [[Gallitzin State Forest]], the Golitsyn Hospital in Moscow and various places, localities and municipalities in Russia.

==Origins==

According to legend, the family descends from Lithuanian prince Jurgis (George), son of [[Patrikas]] and grandson of [[Narimantas]] and thus a great-grandson of [[Gediminas]] ({{died in|1341}}), [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania|Grand Duke of Lithuania]].{{Efn|Other descendants of Patrikas are the Houses of [[Kurakin]] and [[Chowanski|Khovanski]], other [[Gediminids]] (descendants of Gediminas) were the royal [[Jagiellonian dynasty]] of [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] (a [[cadet branch]] of Gediminids) and a number of princely families of the Commonwealth ([[Czartoryski]], [[Sanguszko]], Koriatowicz-Kurcewicz e.a.) and Russia ([[Bulgakov]], [[Trubetskoy family|Trubetskoy]], [[Mstislavsky]], [[Gediminid Belsky family|Belsky]] and [[Artemy Petrovich Volynsky|Volynsky]]).}} After the extinction of the [[Korecki family]] in the 17th century, the Golitsyns claimed dynastic seniority in the House of Gediminas.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

Prince (''[[knyaz]]'') Andrey Andreyevich Golitsyn ({{died in|1638}}), governor of Siberia (1633–1635), was the ancestor of all existing princes Golitsyns. He had four sons, from whom four branches of the Golitsyn family descended:
*Vasily (1618–1652) – branch Vasilyevich
*Ivan ({{died in|1690}}) – branch Ivanovich, which ended in 1751 in a monastery
*Alexey (1632–1694) – branch Alexeevich
*[[Mikhail Andreyevich Golitsyn|Michael]] (1639–1687) – branch Mikhailovich
By the 18th century, the family was divided into four major branches. One branch died out while the other three and their subdivisions contained about 1,100 members.

===Branch Vasilyevich===
*  [[Vasily Golitsyn (1643)|Vasily Vasilyevich Golitsyn]] (1643–1714) was a leading [[boyar]], a Russian statesman, combining military duties with civilian pursuits, [[de facto]] head of the government during the regency of [[Sophia Alekseyevna of Russia|Sophia Alekseyevna]] (1682–1689) over her brother [[Ivan V of Russia|Ivan]] and half-brother [[Peter the Great]] who banished him and his family to [[Arkhangelsk Oblast]]. He owned a richly decorated mansion in Moscow which became the location of the [[State Duma]].
** Aleksey Vasilyevich Golitsyn (1665–1740) In 1683, he received from his grandfather a village south of Moscow, now [[Tsaritsyno Palace]] and surrounding park. In 1694 he was stripped of his [[boyar]]dom (with the retention of the princely title) and the Tsar sent him and his family into exile. He returned in 1726, after the death of Peter I. 
*** Mikhail Alekseyevich Golitsyn (1687–1775) nicknamed "the fool" was punished by Empress [[Anna of Russia]] for converting to Catholicism in order to marry an Italian or German woman. This marriage was declared illegal and she appointed him court [[jester]] in 1738, serving [[kvass]] to the guests. Two years later she forced him to marry either a [[Kalmuck]] or a female jester from [[Kamchatka]]. The "mock wedding" which took place inside a [[Ice palace#Anna Ivanovna's palace|two-room ice palace]] on the [[Neva]] in February [[1740]] during an extremely cold winter remained famous. He moved to his estate and was buried near [[Pushkinsky District, Moscow Oblast|Pushkino]].
