thumb|Arms of the Princes Abamelik-Lazarev thumb|Abamelik palace, St Petersburg, [[Russia]] The House of Abamelik (, , ; also rendered as Abamelek, Abymelikov) was a noble family of Armenian origin in the Kingdom of Georgia, and then in the Russian Empire.
== History == According to the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (1890–1906), the family attained to the dignity of princes of the 3rd rank when the Georgian crown prince David (1767–1819) married in 1800 to Helene Abamelik (1770–1836), the daughter of the priest Simon Abamelik. After annexation of Georgia by Russia in 1801, the family was incorporated into the Russian nobility and officially included in the List of Georgian Princes of the Russian Empire in 1850.
