Dormish Khan was also a scholar and teacher, who only taught the royal family. Back in the 16th century, commoners were not allowed to receive an education. Later on Dormish Khan married one of the princesses of the Safavid dynasty. It is unknown why the name was changed to Dormishian. Most of his descendants live in the US, Germany, Dubai, and France.
