Krusenstern family coat of arms
Adam Johann von[1] Krusenstern (name in Russia: Ива́н Фёдорович Крузенште́рн, Ivan Fyodorovich Kruzenshtern; 10 October 1770 – 12 August 1846) was a Baltic German admiral of the Russian Empire and the explorer who led the first Russian circumnavigation of the Earth in 1803–1806.[2]
^In German personal names, von is a preposition which approximately means of or from and usually denotes some sort of nobility. While von (always lower case) is part of the family name or territorial designation, not a first or middle name, if the noble is referred to by his last name, use Schiller, Clausewitz or Goethe, not von Schiller, etc.
