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 an ancient Iranian House of Karen-Pahlevi, branch of Parthian Arsacides.
A version tells that the root "pavleni" derives from Pahlevi.
Poet Mikhail Pavlenishvili belongs to this family.
