He hailed from the Sanjak of Albania, with his prefix implying descendance of the Dukagjini family (dukakinoğlu - "son-of-Dukagjin"). He was brought up in the Ottoman system by way of devşirme.

His son, Dukakinzade Mehmed Pasha, was the governor of the Egypt Eyalet from 1544 to 1546, until he was executed.
