14 rizvi

Rizvi or Razavi is the Urdu variant of the Arabic surname Ridawi and the Persian surname Razavi. It is a Muslim surname commonly associated with the branch of Husaynids, who claim descent from the Imam Ali al-Rida, a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandsons, Husayn ibn Ali and Hasan ibn Ali. Since the Rizvi clan traces their lineage to Fatimah, many of them often use the prefix Sayyid before their name.
