The Guaramid dynasty or Guaramiani (Georgian: გუარამიანი)[1] was the younger branch of the Chosroid royal house of Iberia (Kartli, eastern Georgia). They ruled Iberia as Grand dukes (erismtavari) in the periods of 588–627, 684–748, and 779/780–786, and three of them were bestowed with the dignity of curopalates by the Byzantine imperial court.
^The dynastic name "Guaramids" is a modern designation introduced by Professor Cyril Toumanoff based on Prince Vakhushti's reference to the dynasty as Guaramiani. It is not universally accepted among the Georgian historians, but is commonly used in the English-language literature.
