The right approach to choosing a person's name significantly affects the character, fate, future life in general terms. Actively promotes development, forms positive qualities of character and behavior, improves health, unconsciously eliminates negative features of appearance.
Georgian names are the main component in the culture of the people. There are many interpretations of what the names mean, in reality, the influence of one or another name is individual for each person. Astrology and numerology noted - the name has a serious influence on fate since ancient times. Therefore, parents are very serious about choosing the nickname of their heir or heiress.
Georgian male names and their meanings
The most commonly used options, meaning the highest grace, are chosen by almost all parents. The people greatly appreciate the Orthodox and cultural values for the gift of a hail of their predecessor, stopping their eyes on the names with the estate in the interpretation of "God".
By tradition, the days of remembrance of the listed Georgian saints are included in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church in the old way.
- Janiko is a God in love, with a burning heart.
- Berdo is a gift of the Lord, given by God.
- Elijah - the fortress of the Lord
- Heraclius - hero, glory of Hera
- Ivane - the grace of God
- Avtandil - the heart of the motherland
Georgian popular names for boys
Original and fashionable folk nicknames, first of all, should be very suitable for the child, and not correspond to the available external data of the appearance, which are not related to the future life of the young man. There are several options that mothers of kids love:
- Tornike - winner, God
- Lado - who owns the world
- Zaza - an old man, an old man (respectfully revered in the country).
- Beso - the son of his beloved wife
- Giga is an affectionate form of the name George, derived from the divine Giga.
The meaning of a name cannot have full influence. Using the example of Vazha's call, let's consider (meaning masculinity, chivalry) - it does not mean at all that the owner of the naming will become strong, and other bearers of various names will weaken.
Worth remembering! All people are different, and therefore the influence of a particular name on each individual. To one it will help, to the other, on the contrary, it will oppress.
The most common mistakes when choosing a name for a child:
- Melody and beauty
- Numerology
- In honor of "that famous uncle"
- According to the religious calendar in honor of the saints
- Combination with patronymic or surname
- In honor of a relative (especially the deceased)
- By value
The emergence of names
These views do not end with all the advantages of the system of proper names of the experienced population of Georgia. But it allows you to see the main steps in the formation of the folk nominal collection. The calls from the list can be combined into several historical and cultural layers, the insight of each of them towards the Georgians is combined with the past years of the people. The eldest ball is reproaches, relying on the living language of Georgia, formed from common phrases.
Many names appeared among Georgians in connection with the expansion of Christianity. These names are from God (mostly of Hebrew and Greek origin). Consider some of them: Giorgi, Grigoli, David, Ioane (from John), Isak, Mose (from Moses). Having united with the Russian Federation, the church lost its independent activity in all respects for a hundred years. The Georgian Church joined the Russian Orthodox Church at the beginning of the exarchate. From 1817 bishops of Russian nationality were appointed exarchs to Georgia; the church property of Georgia was also transferred to the leadership of the Soviet authorities (in the spring of 1917, after the overthrow of tsarism in Russia, the Georgians decided to restore the Christian autocephaly of the church). Joining the ROC contributed to the fact that the Georgians actively called children with hails with the interpretation of "God" from the Orthodox saints. However, the anthroponomical contacts between Georgia and Russia through the churches were not one-sided. The Russian Orthodox Church included in its calendar the days of memory of a number of Georgian saints.
Beautiful female names.
- Tata - Predisposition to the life of an ascetic
- Gela - Messenger of God, angel
- Nika - The girl is strong as the people
- Nino - Nickname of the Russian "Nina" - great-granddaughter, queen, God.
Modern parents, faced with the choice of criticism for girls (in the future girls), future men are now very famous for their popularity in the selection of tables in which all existing names are listed alphabetically. As the statistics say, with this option it is very difficult to determine what not to say about the most relevant options indicated above.
Conclusion
Names have many meanings and characteristics, they arose as a result of the combination of nouns and adjectives, forming one whole. After connecting with the Russian Federation, Orthodox names for sons began to become popular. And even after many years, this tradition does not disappear, but rather gains more and more popularity among the Georgian population.
Georgian names have absorbed the rich history of the Georgian land and the friendly nature of its people.
Georgian folk names.
Meaning large group of ancient Georgian names associated with the languages of numerous ethnographic groups of Georgians - Khevsurs, Pshavs, Imeretians, Mengrelians, Svans, Gurians. Folk names were formed from various concepts and common nouns. As in many other languages, they are very similar to nicknames - Mgelika (wolf cub), Dzaglika (puppy, dog), Chichiko (little man), Bichiko (boy), Gogola (girl), Mzekala (sun-maiden), Tsira (red girl). Some names have become popular after being famous by famous people. For example, the male name Vazha (courageous, man) was originally part of the pseudonym of the Georgian poet Vazha Pshavela. And his grandfather was the first bearer of the common name Imedi (hope). Among the Georgians and now you can meet a man with the traditional name of Badri or Mindia, a woman Dali or Tsialu.
Eastern borrowings.
The geographical location of Georgia at the crossroads of Western and Eastern civilizations has led to the fact that the Georgians have always been in close contact with the peoples inhabiting neighboring lands. Naturally, these contacts were reflected in the borrowing of names. Origin story some Georgian names begins with the literary works of Iran and the Arab Caliphate. Rostom, Bezhan, Givi are Georgian forms of the Iranian names Rustam, Bizhan, Giv from the epic Shahnameh. Eastern borrowings also include such common Georgian names as Vakhtang, Zurab, Ramazi, Leila, Rusudan.
Christian names and Russian borrowings.
In the 4th century Christianity became the state religion of Georgia. Since that time, Hebrew, Greek and Latin names taken from the Bible appear in everyday life - Giorgi (George), David, Ioane (John), Isak, Mose (Moses). As in Russia Georgian names from religious meaning they chose based on, which were replenished with the names of Georgian saints - Abo, Archil, Luarsab, Ketevan, Shushanik. At all times, parents willingly named the boy in honor of St. George, and girls in honor of St. Nina and the legendary Queen Tamara.
Georgia has long had close cultural ties with Russia, and at the beginning of the 19th century it became part of the Russian Empire. Therefore, in many Georgian families, children wore, which in a peculiar way adapted to the Georgian language - Iagora (Egor), Vladimiri (Vladimir) and its form Lado, Valiko (Valentin), Andro (Andrey).
In modern Georgian nomenology, a certain place is occupied by the names of Western Europe - John, Carlo, Maurice, Edward, Irma, Inga, Diana.
Male and female Georgian names are very diverse. They absorbed the entire history of the people and became the best illustration of its long and thorny path to self-determination. Many of the beautiful Georgian names are of foreign origin and meaning. They appeared as a result of close communication between Georgians and the peoples of neighboring powers (Russia, the North Caucasus, Iran, Armenia, etc.). These have joined the national naming system, making it even more diverse, interesting and attractive.
Origin of Georgian girls and boys names
Given their origin, male and female Georgian names can be divided into three groups.
- Names borrowed from other peoples. Many of them appeared as a result of cultural exchange with the Eastern Slavs. Some ancient Georgian names were taken from Western languages. No less serious imprint in the modern naming system of Georgia was left by the culture of the Persian and Arab peoples.
- Originally Georgian names. They were drawn from pre-Christian folklore.
- Biblical names. Their appearance is associated with the spread of Christianity on the territory of Georgia (5th century). This category includes Orthodox Georgian names of girls of Hebrew, Roman and Greek origin.

In 1996, Avtandil Sigaladze and Anzor Totadze's book "Personal and Family Names in Georgia" was published in Tbilisi. It presents data on the degree of distribution of personal names in the regions of Georgia. The appendix lists the 300 most common names. They are given in Georgian spelling. I turned to the Georgian Embassy in Kazakhstan with a request to help me write down these names in Russian. I had an appointment. I arrived at the embassy mansion and, under the dictation of the cultural attache, wrote down all these 300 names in Russian graphics. Here are the names:

It is easy to see that the above list, most likely compiled on the basis of data from address bureaus, ignores the linguistic links between individual forms of names. As a result, how different names are represented, such as, for example, Nina And Nino, Elene, Elena And Lena, Kakhaberi And Kakha, Irina, Irina And Ira etc. In other words, phonetic-spelling variations of the same names, full and abbreviated forms are given separately. That is, there are fewer really different names in this list than the given forms. The very presentation of the material departs from the tradition accepted in scientific anthroponymy to present male and female names in separate lists (in the book, male and female names are given in one list - hence the difference in their number). But if I did not combine different forms and variants of names, then I separated the male names from the female ones and give them separately for greater user convenience. At the same time, a number of names had to be separated into a separate subgroup. Among Georgians, they exist both as male and as female. Perhaps this third group of names can be supplemented from the remaining two groups of names. In total, the list contains 131 male names, 162 female and 7, which are both male and female. As noted in the book, the list does not include residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (obviously, data for these two regions were not available to the author).
Of course, the given names do not exhaust all the richness of the system of personal names of the indigenous population of Georgia. But it allows you to see the main stages in the formation of a national name-list. The names from the list can be combined into several historical and cultural layers, the penetration of each of which to the Georgians is associated with the historical stages of the people, the country.
The most ancient layer is the names associated with the living languages of Georgia, formed from common nouns understandable to the masses. For example: male Bichiko'boy', Mghelika‘wolf cub’, Dzaglika‘puppy, doggy’, chichico‘little man’, female Gogol'young woman', Mzekala‘sun-maiden’, cira‘beautiful girl’. Some of the names of primordial origin arose at a relatively late time. For example, male importance‘manly, man’ appeared as part of a pseudonym ( Vazha Pshelava) the famous Georgian poet Luka Razikashvili (1861-1915). The grandfather of this poet was the first bearer of the name Imedi‘hope’, which has become popular among Georgians. Some of the original names have been preserved for centuries and are still popular today (for example, male Badri, Mindia, female Dali, Tsiala). The names of this group arose in separate ethnographic groups of Georgians (Khevsurs, Pshavs, Imeretins, Gurians, Mingrelians, Svans, etc.). Over time, some of them have gained nationwide distribution.
Throughout their history, the indigenous peoples of Georgia have been in close contact with the peoples of neighboring regions, states - the North Caucasus, Armenia, Iran, Byzantium, the Arab Caliphate, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, etc. And all these contacts have left an anthroponymic "trace" in the names of Georgians.
A significant contribution to the system of personal names of Georgians was made by Iran and the Arab Caliphate. Names were borrowed with the penetration of Perso-Arabic literature. Yes, male Rostom, Bejan, Givi- Georgian forms of Iranian names Rustam, Bizhan, Giv worn by the heroes of the Iranian epic "Shahname". That part of the epic, in which these heroes act, has become especially popular among Georgians. Of the other names of this cultural and historical layer, one can also name male Vakhtang, Zurabi, Muradi, Ramazi, female Leila, Rusudani, Turpa. At the same time, the name Vakhtang, known since the 5th century, is unknown to the Iranians themselves.
Many names appeared among Georgians in connection with the spread of Christianity (Georgians adopted Christianity already in the 5th century). These are biblical (mostly Hebrew) names, Greek and Latin in their linguistic origin. Here are some of them: Giorgi, Grigoli, David, Ioane(from John), Isak, Mose(from Moses). The names of this group were especially active among Georgians after the annexation of Georgia to Russia (1801 - the East Georgian kingdom, 1804 - Imretia, Megrelia, Guria, 1810 - Abkhazia, 1858 - Svanetia). After reunification with Russia, the Georgian Church lost its autocephaly (independence) for a century. The Georgian Church became part of the Russian Orthodox Church on the basis of an exarchate. However, soon there was either nothing left of autonomous rights, or only one form remained. From 1817 bishops of Russian nationality were appointed exarchs to Georgia; the church property of Georgia was also transferred to the disposal of the Russian authorities (on March 12, 1917, after the overthrow of tsarism in Russia, the Georgians themselves decided to restore the autocephaly of their church). Joining the Russian Orthodox Church contributed to the fact that the Georgians actively named their children with names from Orthodox saints. However, the anthroponymic contacts between Georgia and Russia through the churches were not one-sided. The Russian Orthodox Church included in its calendar the days of memory of a number of Georgian saints:
Men's: Abo, Aviv, Anthony, Archil, Bidzin, Gabriel, Gobron, Gregory, David, Eustathius, Euthymius, Zenon, Hilarion, Isaac, Ise, Isidore, John, Constantine, Luarsab, Michael, Neophyte, Pyrrhus, Rajden, Stefan, Dry, Tarichan, Shalva, Shio, Elizbar, Thaddeus
Women's: Ketevan, Nina, Tamara, Shushanika
Among those listed there are names that were completely unknown to the Russian Orthodox before their inclusion in the calendar ( Abo, Archil, Bidzin, Gobron, Laursab, Pierre, Razhden, Dry, Tarichan, Shalva, Shio, Elizbar; Ketevan, Tamara). Some correlated with the names already available in the holy calendar: Ise And Jesse, Shushanik And Susanna. From this group of Georgian names (the names of Georgian saints, coinciding with the names of Russian Orthodox saints, I do not take into account - Anthony, David, Michael etc.) in the Russian environment, only women's Nina And Tamara. The popularity of these names in Russian families was facilitated by the works of M. Yu. Lermontov. True, the name Nina was known to Russians even without Georgians, but as an unofficial form of a number of official Orthodox names - Antonina, Domnina, Anastasia. In A. S. Pushkin's poem "Winter Road", the lyrical hero, plunging into dreams, reflects:
Boring, sad...
Tomorrow, Nina
Tomorrow, returning to my dear,
I'll forget by the fireplace...
Who is Nina, whose name is mentioned by the lyrical hero, remains unknown.
By tradition, the days of remembrance of the listed Georgian saints are still included in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Names of Slavic origin were also borrowed, in particular, Vladimir. It is used by Georgians not only in full form, but in abbreviated form - Lado.
Since the end of the 19th and especially in the 20th century, names from Western Europe have been spreading among Georgians mainly through literature and cinema: Albert, Maurice, Carlo, Edward, Diana, Inga, Irma and others. The Georgians did not stand aside from the names-Sovietisms (for example, Dictatorship, Communards).
Ending -O in a number of Georgian names (especially male - Andro, Dato, Lado etc.) represents a form of the vocative case developed in the Georgian language.
In Russian texts, the names of Georgians are often given in an adapted form - not Giorgi, A George, Not Akaki, A Akaki, Not Iuri, A Yuri, Not Vasili, A Basil etc. In general, the transfer of the names of Georgians by Russian written means creates certain difficulties. Thus, the transfer of Georgian names containing the letters ა, ე is difficult. For example, in the female names ან ა and თ ე ა, the letter corresponding to the Russian “a” is at the end. But should it be transmitted in Russian in both cases through "a"? If yes, then in this case it will be Ana And Thea. But in the Russian personal name it is more common to write Thea. Similar questions arise when transferring names containing ე. In Russian, both “e” and “e” correspond to it. That is, is it necessary to transfer the name of a Georgian woman in Russian as Ekaterine, Ekaterine, Ekaterine or stop at the adopted spelling Catherine? Another question is whether to double consonants in names of Georgians like Ana, Natela, Neli, which correspond to Russian names Anna, Natella, Nelly? There are no doubled consonants in Georgian orthography. If transliteration (letter-by-letter transmission of names) is taken as the basic principle, then, of course, such a question will not arise - doubling consonants is inappropriate. But what about practical transcription? I believe that in Georgia itself, the issue of the written transmission of personal names and surnames into other languages (including Russian) is the subject of research. At least in Soviet times, for each of the written languages, principles were developed for the transfer of geographical names on geographical maps. They could be taken as a basis for the written transmission of personal names and surnames.
Certain work is also being carried out in the direction of establishing the etymology of Georgian personal names. I can recommend the following edition:
Glonti A. A. Kartvelian proper names. Dictionary of anthroponyms. Tbilisi, 1967 (in Georgian).

Georgian names
Georgian male and female names and their meaning
Georgia is a state in the South Caucasus, the capital is Tbilisi. The population is 4.5 million people.
The Georgian name book (name book) consists of large groups of names, due to the fact that throughout their history, the indigenous peoples of Georgia have been in close contact with the peoples of neighboring states - Russia, the North Caucasus, Armenia, Iran, Byzantium, the Arab Caliphate, Azerbaijan, Turkey, etc.
Georgian names include:
- names formed from common words. For example, Shota is fire, Endzela is a snowflake.

Georgian names. Georgian male and female names and their meaning
Attention!
Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).
On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.
The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.
Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.
People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.
So please be careful!
Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid
