Maragheh Khanate was a 17th–20th-century khanate based in Maragheh. The khanate is known as one of the khanates located in historic Azerbaijan, which became for more than a hundred years semi-independent from the Iranian mother country. The ruling Mükeddem dynasty was from the Turkic Javanshir clan. By marrying they were related to the Qajar dynasty. After the abolition of the khanate in 1925 by Reza Shah, the members of the dynasty were expelled. They went into exile in Azerbaijan and Turkey. The descendants of the dynasty now live in various countries, and take the surnames Mükeddem, Mükeddem-Marağayi, Etimadi-Mükeddam and others.[1]
