Chabaron

The Chabaron (Greek: Χαβάρων) family is one of the major Byzantine aristocratic families. They are first attested in the 1220's as army officers, but only rose to prominence with Constantine Chabaron, who was emperor Theodore II Laskaris' close friend and confidante. As such, they are considered one of his New Men. Constantine was made the governor of Arbanon and his family acquired vast estates and influence in Albania.
The feminine form of the name is Chabarina. Its plural form is Chabaronoi.
