The original family name was Cañete, named after Cañete, Cuenca, a village in Spain. In Ruse, Canetti's father and grandfather were successful merchants who operated out of a commercial building, which they had built in 1898.
Elias Canetti (; Елиас Канети; 25 July 1905 – 14 August 1994) was a German-language author, born in Ruse, Bulgaria to a merchant family.
He is noted for his non-fiction book Crowds and Power, among other works. ==Life and work== ===Early life=== Born in 1905 to businessman Jacques Canetti and Mathilde née Arditti in Ruse, a city on the Danube in Bulgaria, Canetti was the eldest of three sons.
Before settling in Ruse, they had migrated into Italy and lived in Livorno in the 17th century. Canetti spent his childhood years, from 1905 to 1911, in Ruse until the family moved to Manchester, England, where Canetti's father joined a business established by his wife's brothers.

They moved to Manchester, England, but his father died in 1912, and his mother took her three sons back to the continent.
In 1912, his father died suddenly, and his mother moved with their children first to Lausanne, then Vienna in the same year.
Subsequently, the family moved first (from 1916 to 1921) to Zürich and then (until 1924) to Frankfurt, where Canetti graduated from high school. Canetti went back to Vienna in 1924 in order to study chemistry.

Politically leaning towards the left, he was present at the July Revolt of 1927 – he came near to the action accidentally, was most impressed by the burning of books (recalled frequently in his writings), and left the place quickly with his bicycle.
He gained a degree in chemistry from the University of Vienna in 1929, but never worked as a chemist. He published two works in Vienna before escaping to Great Britain.
