'''Al Azmatkhan'/Azmatkhan'''' () al-Husayni, also spelled Azmat Khan, Azhmatkhan, al-Azhamatkhan or al-Azhamat Chan () are a family originating in Hadhramaut. They trace their lineage to Sayyid Abd al-Malik Azmatkhan ibn Alawi Ammul Faqih, a descendant of Husayn ibn Ali. Sayyid Abd al-Malik emigrated from Hadhramaut to India in the 14th century AD, earlier than other emigrations from Hadhramaut.
al-Husayni later married a daughter of Nasirabad nobility and acquired Azmat Khan title. Khan title was given in order to consider him as the local nobility. In addition, they put "Azmat" which means "noble" because Abd al-Malik was originated from sayyid lineage. His descendants still retain this name as their patronymic until today.
