Khalifeh family
The Khalifeh family, also known as the Khalifeh sayyids, were a branch of the Marashi dynasty of Mazandaran, whose ancestor, Amir Nezam al-Din, had settled in the Golbar quarter of Isfahan in the 15th-century.[1][2][3]
Even though the Khalifeh family was renowned of being descendants of the celebrated Marashi ruler Mir-i Buzurg (r. 1359–1362), they first became one of the leading families of Isfahan in the late 16th-century. But they were still affluent and distinguished enough to intermarry with local well-known families.[4] According to the Safavid court historian Iskandar Munshi, "The Khalifeh family had held estates in the Isfahan area for generations."[2]
