Mézes (with the praedicat Debreczen) is the name of an old Hungarian noble family from the lower-nobility.
The Mézes family can trace its roots back to the 16th century when settled in the city of Debrecen. Probably, the family is a branch of the Mézes de Mézes or Mézes de Méhkerék families. János Mézes aliter Nagy de Debreczen with his wife and children got noble patent in 06.04.1610. from Gabriel Bathori, Prince of Transylvania.[1]
