Ghovanlou is the name of one of the clans of the Qajar tribe. Along with the Dulous, the Ghovanlou were considered one of the two powerful branches of the Qajar clan and their rivals. The Qajar clan was trying to gain power for more than half a century, until finally, at the end of the 18th century, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, who belonged to the Ghovanlou clan, after many clashes, killed the successors of Karim Khan Zand and other rivals and established the dynasty. He founded Qajar. He, who was aware of the differences within the Qajar dynasty, specified in the first years of his reign that the Qajar throne should be given to the first son born from the union of the two clans.

Therefore, the mothers of Abbas Mirza (Crown of Fath Ali Shah), and Mohammad Shah Qajar, the third king of Qajar, were both from the Dulu family. The Ghovanlou included two important families:     The Qajar royal family includes the brothers and nephews of Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, whose great ancestor was Fath-Ali Khan Qajar, the general of Tahmasp II.

The second family of the descendants of Amir Suleiman Khan Qajar is Ghovanlou, which is the maternal family of Naser al-Din Shah. Malek Jahan Khanom was the mother of Naser al-Din Shah, the grandson of Amir Suleiman Khan. The members of this family, including Ali Reza Khan Azod al-Molk, Anushirvan Khan Ain al-Molk, Mehdi Qali Khan Majdal Doulah, etc., are among the nobles and courtiers of the second half of the Qajar dynasty
