Javanshir (), also known by his Middle Persian name Juvansher (meaning young lion) was the son of Khosrow II, and Gordiya, the sister of Bahram Chobin. The 9th-century historian Dinawari mentions him as ruling before the Sasanian queen Boran. This would mean that he had managed to avoid Kavad II's slaughter of his brothers. This, however, remains obscure, and no coins of Juvansher have been found either.

Anōshazād, known in the Shahnameh as Nōshzād (), was a Sasanian prince who led a revolt in the southwestern province of Khuzistan in the 540s. He was the oldest son of king Khosrow I (), while his mother was a Christian and the daughter of the judge (dadwar) of Ray. He may have attempted to receive the support of the Christians of Iran in his revolt. In the view of one historian, his revolt represented an unsuccessful attempt by the Christian elites of Khuzistan to increase their political power and status.
