From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leijonhufvud family coat of arms

Leijonhufvud (Germanized as Lewenhaupt, literally "Lionhead") is the name of a Swedish noble family, from which some of the family members were granted baronial title. The baronial branch was 1568 granted the status of counts, and changed their family name to Lewenhaupt. There are still living members of both the branch of the family belonging to the lower nobility and the baronial one.
