Battenberg family

 or Mountbatten family

Family that rose to international prominence in the 19th–20th centuries. The first Battenbergs were a family of German counts that died out c. 1314; the title was revived in 1851. In 1917 the family members who lived in England renounced the German title of prince of Battenberg and adopted Mountbatten as a surname (“mount” being a translation of “Berg”). Prominent members of the family included Philip, duke of Edinburgh, and Louis Mountbatten.
