Notes:
* The title "Farman Farma" did not originate with Prince Abdol-Hossein Mirza Farman Farma. It was first held by Prince Abdol-Hossein Mirza Farman Farma's grand-uncle Hossein Ali Mirza Farman Farma, Abbas Mirza Nayeb Saltaneh's younger half-brother. Prince Abdol Hossein Mirza's father, Prince Firouz Mirza would battle his own uncle, Prince Hossein Ali Mirza Farman Farma, in support his brother Prince Mohammad Mirza (later Mohammad Shah Qajar) and win the right to the succession for Prince Mohammad Mirza. Forty years later, Nasser-ed-in Shah, Firouz Mirza's nephew, would bestow the title Farman Farma on Prince Firouz Mirza in gratitude for his role in consolidating the succession to the Qajar (Kadjar) Throne. The title Farman Farma then passed on to his son Prince Abdol Hossein Mirza, during the reign of Nasser-ed-Din Shah. Nasser-ed-din Shah and Prince Abdol Hossein Mirza were cousins, but Nasser-ed-Din Shah was about thirty years his senior.
Prince Abdol-Hossein Mirza was also Mozaffar-ed-Din Shah's son-in-law, marrying his daughter Princess Ezzat-Dowleh, mother of Prince Nosrat-ed-Dowleh Firouz. He and Prince Eyn-ed-Dowleh (Azodi) were both sons-in law of Mozaffar-ed-Din Shah and the two did not get along very well. For Prince Eyn-ed-Dowleh's genealogy please see "Azodi-Qajar" under the "Shajarehnaameh Project."
The Farmanfarmaian family should not be confused with the Farmanfarmai'i family, also a princely Qajar family. They are descendants of Hossein Ali Farman Farma and their descendants are also the Tehranian family listed under the "Shajarehnaameh Project" in these pages.
