His paternal grandfather Ehsan Khan Nakhchivanski was the last ruler of the Nakhchivan Khanate. Huseyn Nakhchivanski's parents were Kalbali Khan Nakhchivanski, a major general in the Russian Army, and Khurshid Qajar-Iravani, a member of a branch of the Qajar dynasty who ruled the Erivan Khanate (abolished in 1828).

Nakhchivanski served there for twenty years and ascended positions from cornet to Colonel of the Leib Guard. When the Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1904, Huseyn Khan was seconded to Petrovsk-Port to form the 2nd Dagestani cavalry regiment from volunteers. During the war, the regiment distinguished itself, and Khan Nakhchivanski personally received seven decorations.
