Tsereteli

Tsereteli ( _ka. წერეთელი) is a former noble family in Georgia, which gave origin to several notable writers, politicians, scholars, and artists.

History

According to traditional accounts, the family’s ancestors had been chieftains in Dagestan [ge icon იოანე ბატონიშვილი (Ioane Bagrationi; 1768-1830).

Constantine II, King of Imereti (west Georgia) from 1392 to 1401, enfeoffed them of Sachkhere and conferred the dignity of prince ("tavadi") upon them. The Tsereteli held a fiefdom in Upper Imereti called Satseretlo (საწერეთლო; "of Tsereteli") with their residence at Modinakhe, and eventually turned into one of the preeminent aristocratic families in Georgia. They frequently intermarried with other Georgian noble houses and even with the branches of Bagrationi royal dynasty in both western and eastern Georgia (e.g., Prince David Tsereteli married the sister of Alexander V of Imereti in 1736, while Zurab Tsereteli married his daughter, Kethevan, to the royal prince Ioann of Georgia in 1787).

A branch of the family followed King Vakhtang VI of Kartli in his 1724 emigration to Imperial Russia, where they came to be known as Tsertelev ( _ru. Цертелев, Церетели) and were absorbed into the Russian nobility.
