Our Family

Ebbie was born in Tehran, Iran, and his family’s heritage reflects a remarkable lineage tied to the noble Khan Nakhchivanski family of the Caucasus, tracing back to the influential Kangarli dynasty of Nakhchivan.

Known for his historic military legacy, Ebbie's granduncle, Huseyn Khan Nakhchivanski, was celebrated as the commander of all cavalry in the Imperial Russian Army under Tsar Nicholas II, honored with a statue in St. Petersburg for his distinguished service.

Ebbie and his wife Charlotte have been married for 41 years, and their sons, Arya and Nima, continue the family legacy within EKN's generationally designed companies.
