Robitashvili

The House of Robitashvili ( Georgian: რობიტაშვილი) is a Georgian noble family, which also belonged to the Russian nobility.

History

The Robitashvili had the title of tavadi ( prince) in the Kingdom of Kakheti and were included in the list of the Georgian nobility attached to the Russo-Georgian treaty of Georgievsk of 1783. After the Russian annexation of Georgia, the family was confirmed among the princely nobility ( knyaz) of the Russian Empire in 1850. The surname was Russified as Robitov ( Russian: Робитов).^[1]

The Robitashvili had no officially confirmed coat of arms, but a drawing of the familial arms is included in Tsikhinsky's unpublished Russian-language catalogue The Caucasian Armorial, dated to 1922.^[2]
