The Cajanus family is an ancient Finnish family of priests and other government officials. There is some controversy whether or not this family descends from the Swedish royal family of Gyllenhjerta. The most famous member of this family is Daniel (Taneli) Cajanus, a world-famous giant who was a member of royal courts and performed in England and Holland.
