The Mannagetta (also Managetta, later "Managetta von Lerchenau" or "Managetta and Lerchenau") were a patrician family originally from Italy who came to Austria towards the end of the 16th century. In 1637 the imperial personal physician Johann Wilhelm Mannagetta and his brothers were ennobled with " von Lerchenau ", in 1752 they were accepted into the Bohemian knighthood and in 1753 they were elevated to the Austrian baron. In 1905 the noble Johann von Nowotny was authorized to use the name "Mannagetta-Lerchenau".
