Manvelishvili

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manvelishvili (Georgian: მანველიშვილი) was a Georgian noble family, originally from the province of Guria, and elevated to the princely rank by Vakhtang VI of Kartli, a Georgian king-in-exile in Russia in the 1720s. In 1738, they became the Russian subjects and were recognized as Princes Manvelov (Russian: Манвеловы).[1]
