The princes of Lori, Loris-Melikov, are the representatives of an old noble family whose ancestors in the 14th century owned the town of Lori and the province of the same name. They belonged to the top aristocratic society of Georgia. The princely family of Loris-Melikov was established in the Russian nobility in 1832.
