Munírih Khánum was born Fátimih Nahrí, but called Fátimih Khánum (Persian: فاطمه خانم), she was born while her father and uncle, Mírzá Hádíy-i-Nahrí, where present at the Conference of Badasht which roughly puts her birthdate between June and July of 1848. Fátimih Khánum's birthdate has sometimes been incorrectly said to be 1846-7 however, her birth was clearly stated as occuring during the Conference of Badasht (1848). Her father was Mírzá Muhammad `Alíy-i-Nahrí. He had been married before, but had no children. The Báb, gave her father some sweets that he ate, and Mírzá Muhammad `Alíy-i-Nahrí saved some for his wife and gave it to her. Eight months and nine days later she was born. Fátimih spent her childhood and early youth in Isfahan. As a young woman, Fátimih Khánum was considered a suitable match for marriage to Bahá’í families throughout Iran.
