Firuz Shah Zarrin Kolah فیروزشاه زرین کلاه

The genealogy of the Safawi dynasty can be traced to a certain Firuz Shah, surnamed Zarrin Kulah "golden cap", who settled in Ardabil during the twelfth century AD. The name of the dynasty is take from Sheikh Safi ud-din 'Abdu'l Fath Ishaq (b. 1252; d. 12th September 1334), founder and Grand Master of a Sufi religious order at Ardabil in 1301. Converting from the Sunni to the Shi'ite sect, his descendant Junaid became a zealous propagator of the Shi'ite faith, extending his influence over large areas of North Western Persia, Anatolia, Syria, Mesopotamia and Armenia. Temporal power soon followed in the wake of his religious successes with the establishment of the Qizilbashes (red caps), a powerful military force including a large number of nomadic tribes. They were eventually strong enough to seize the reigns of temporal power and install their Grand Master as Shah Ismail I in 1501. His descendants ruled Persia until the Afghan invasions of 1719 and 1722 reduced them to puppets in the hands of others. However, they continued to be recognised as Shahhanshahs, at least in some parts of the country, for a further 60 years. The last Shah of the dynasty was finally deposed and exiled to India in 1786.

Firuz Shah Zarrin Kolah (Persian: فیروزشاه زرین کلاه, literal meaning in English: The victorious king bearing golden hat‎‎) was a Kurdish dignitary, and the seventh in the ancestral line of Shaykh Safi Ardabili, the eponym of the Safavid dynasty of Iran.

According to Minorsky, Sheykh Safi al-Din's ancestor Firuz-shah was a rich man, lived in Gilan and then Kurdish kings gave him Ardabil and its dependencies. Minorsky refers to Sheykh Safi al-Din's claims tracing back his origins to Ali ibn Abu Talib, but expresses uncertainty about this.

In the pre-Safavid written work Safvat as-safa (oldest known extants manuscripts from 1485 and 1491), the origin of the Safavids is traced to Firuz Shah Zarin Kolah who is called a Kurd (from sanjār), while in the post-Safavid manuscripts, this portion "Kurd from Sanjan" has been excised and Piruz Shah Zarin Kollah is made a descendant of the Shi'ite Imams.

The male lineage of the Safavid family given by the oldest manuscript of the Safwat as-Safa is:"[Sheykh] Safi al-Din Abul-Fatah Ishaaq the son of Al-Sheykh Amin al-din Jebrail the son of al-Saaleh Qutb al-Din Abu Bakr the son of Salaah al-Din Rashid the son of Muhammad al-Hafiz al-Kalaam Allah the son of ‘avaad the son of Birooz (Firuz) al-Kurdi al-Sanjāri.

Excerpt from the Safvat Al-Safa, which describes the lineage of Shaykh Safi al-Din and traces it to Firuz Shah Zarin Kolah

Wa chon Nisbat Birooz bâ Kurd raft translates to "Since the origin of Birooz was Kurdish" Firuz Shah likely migrated from Kurdistan to the region of Ardabil in the 11th century.

Further information: Safavid dynasty family tree After the establishment of the Safavids, the genealogy in official texts trace the lineage of Piruz Shah Zarin Kolah to the 7th Shi'ite Imam, Musa al-Kadhim.
