Constantin Negruzzi
Constantin (Costache) Negruzzi (n. 1808, satul Hermeziu, judeţul Iaşi – d. 24 august 1868) a fost un om politic şi scriitor român din perioada paşoptistă.
Născut în Trifeştii Vechi (astăzi Hermeziu), din apropierea Prutului, lângă Iaşi, este fiul lui Dinu Negruzzi, de origine răzăşească, ajuns boiernaş în rang de paharnic, şi al Sofiei Hermeziu. Şi-a început învăţătura în greaca cu unul din dascălii greci mai cu renume pe atunci în Iaşi, iar româneşte învăţă singur dintr-o carte a lui Petru Maior, precum însuşi mărturiseşte într-un articol intitulat Cum am învăţat româneşte, foarte interesant pentru detaliile pe care le dă asupra metodelor întrebuinţate de profesorii din acea vreme.
Izbucnind revoluţia din 1821, a fugit în Basarabia cu tatăl
