Khojaminasishvili
Khojaminasishvili was a Georgian family of Armenian ethnic background ennobled in the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti in 1775. Their status received confirmation in 1857 from the Russian Empire, where they were known as Khodzhaminasov .
The family, claiming descent from the medieval Armenian house of Shahapuni and known for their merchandise, were originally from Julfa and resettled, in the person of Tarkhan Khoja-Minasi, to Tbilisi in the reign of Heraclius II of Kartli-Kakheti and received from that monarch the title of prince ( tavadi) in 1775. After the annexation of Georgia by the Russian Empire, the Khojaminasishvili (Khodzhaminasov) were confirmed in their princely rank ( knyaz) in 1857.
