Ed-Dowleh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ed-Dowleh is a suffix used as part of titles for members of royalty who were in governing positions during the Qajar dynasty in Iran (Persia). Some of the children of Abbas Mirza who were governers also carried this title. The title was largely lost after Reza Shah, the creater of the Pahlavi dynasty, had Iranians pick family names. Families with the ed-Dowleh suffix dropped the title while keeping the first segment of their title as their surnames.
