Pavlenishvili


The Pavlenishvili is an old Georgian princely dynasty, branch of princes Mkhargrdzeli, who at their turn were descendants of the ancient Iranian House of Karen-Pahlevi house, a branch of the Parthian Arsacids.
A version tells that the root "pavleni" derives from Pahlevi.
Poet Mikhail Pavlenishvili belongs to this family.
