Bahdinan[1] (Bahdīnān) or Badinan (Bādīnān) was one of the most powerful and enduring Kurdish principalities. It was founded by Baha-al-Din originally from Şemzînan area in Hakkari in sometime between 13th or 14th century CE. The capital of this emirate was Amedi for a long time. The rulers of the Bahdinan Emirate governed over the Emirate since the Abbasid Empire,[2] an early dynasty in Islamic history.
It was centered in the town of Amadiya (or Amêdî) in the present-day Duhok governorate in Iraqi Kurdistan.
