The Mocioni family (Hungarian: Mocsonyi de Foen), also spelled as Mocsony de Foen, was an Austro-Hungarian noble family whose members held significant positions within the Kingdom of Romania.
History
The family was of Aromanian origin, migrating from Moscopole (located in modern southern Albania) in the Ottoman Empire to the Kingdom of Hungary (and Banat) at the end of the 17th century. As noted philanthropists and bankers, they were awarded with the title of Baron in Austria. They had branches in Romania, Serbia, (Belgrade) and in Hungary, (Budapest).
