The House of Dgebuadze (Georgian: დგებუაძე) was a Georgian noble family from the province of Mingrelia.

History

In the 19th century, they served to the Dadiani princes of Mingrelia as governors (mouravi) of the canton of Salipartiano.[1] According to the historian Cyril Toumanoff, after the annexation of Georgia in the 19th century, they were incorporated into the Russian nobility and received the title of Knyaz of the Russian Empire in 1903 from Nicholas II.[2][3]
