Kurdistan Mukryani is a Kurdish linguist, author, women's rights activist, and poet. She was born in 1947 in Erbil. Kurdistan Mukryani's father, Giwi Mukryani, named his daughter Kurdistan out of love for the Kurdistan Republic. The name sometimes caused her problems. Ba'ath officials in Iraq told her that her name was Kurdistan and that she was a separatist. They gave her Iraqi citizenship very difficult. Huzni Mukryani was her uncle.

In 1923, Kurdistan Mukryani's father, Giwi, and his uncle, Huzni, moved to Baghdad, in 1925 to Rwandz, and in 1926, they established a printing house there and published the magazine Zari Kurmanji.

Alongside the Kurdistan Printing House, Giwi Mukryani brings a camera to Erbil to take pictures of intellectuals and personalities. In Erbil, the magazine "Runaki", the newspaper "Hawler" and the magazine "Hataw" were published in his printing house.

Kurdistan Mukryani completed her primary, secondary, and high school education in Erbil. After receiving her bachelor's degree with the highest grade from the Kurdish Language Department of Baghdad University, she moved to Moscow to complete her higher education. In 1977, she received her doctorate in philology from the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Soviet Academy. In the same year, she returned to Kurdistan and was employed at Suleimani University. From 1978 to 1982, she was the head of the Kurdish Language Department at Suleimani University and later at Salaheddin University. In 1982, she moved to Baghdad and until 1987 she was employed in the Kurdish Culture and Publishing Agency of the Ministry of Culture and Journalism.
