Pavlenishvili

The Pavlenishvili (Georgian ფავლენიშვილი,rus. Павле́новы, engl. vers. Phavlenishvili, Pavlenishvili, fr. Pavlenichvili) 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.
