Ancient and noble German family, of clear and ancestral virtue, that has worldwide spread, over the centuries. According to some heraldic reconstruction, it would descend from the noble family Balk or Balke from Silesia, with which it shares the blazon. According to other conjectures, however, this family, as a reward for valuable services rendered to Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, was admitted to the "Briefadel" (lit.

Another branch of the family, known as Balko or Balkò settled in Hungary where it likewise flourished nobly.
