The name is Carlo in Georgia. Modern beautiful Georgian names
Male and female Georgian names are very diverse. They absorbed the entire history of the people and became the best illustration of their long and thorny path to self-determination. Many of the beautiful Georgian names have foreign origins and meanings. They appeared as a result of close communication between Georgians and the peoples of neighboring powers (Russia, the North Caucasus, Iran, Armenia, etc.). These merged into the national naming system, making it even more diverse, interesting and attractive.
Origin of Georgian names for girls and boys
Taking into account their origin, male and female Georgian names can be divided into three groups.
- Names borrowed from other peoples. Many of them came about as a result cultural exchange With Eastern Slavs. Some ancient Georgian names were drawn from Western languages. The culture of the Persian and Arab peoples left an equally serious imprint on the modern naming system of Georgia.
- Original Georgian names. They were drawn from pre-Christian folklore.
- Biblical names. Their appearance is associated with the spread of Christianity in Georgia (5th century). This category includes Orthodox Georgian names for girls in Hebrew, Roman and Greek origin.

The meaning of native Georgian male and female names
The original most beautiful Georgian names for boys and girls have ancient origin. Many of them are legends and fairy tales (Chichiko, Gogol, Mlegiko, Tsira, etc.). Some traditional Georgian girls' names arose as word forms from adjectives, nouns and common nouns (Mindra, Badri, etc.). Quite a large portion of these names continue to be used today.

In 1996, the book “Personal and Family Names in Georgia” by Avtandil Sigaladze and Anzor Totadze 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 writing. 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 attaché, wrote down all these 300 names in Russian script. I will give these names:

It is easy to see that the above list, most likely compiled on the basis of address bureau data, ignores the linguistic connections between individual forms of names. As a result, names such as, for example, are presented as different Nina And Nino, Elene, Elena And Lena, Kakhaberi And Kakha, Irina, Irine And Ira etc. In other words, phonetic and spelling variations of the same names, full and abbreviated forms are given separately. That is, there are actually fewer different names in this list than the given forms. The presentation of the material itself departs from the tradition accepted in scientific anthroponymy of presenting male and female names separate lists (in the books, 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 male names I separated them from women’s ones and give them separately for greater user convenience. In this case, a number of names had to be separated into a separate subgroup. Among Georgians, they are used both as male and 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 names and 7 that 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 was not available to the author).
Of course, the given names do not exhaust the entire wealth of the system of personal names of the indigenous population of Georgia. But it allows you to see the main stages of the formation of a national name. The names from the list can be combined into several historical and cultural layers, the penetration of each of which among Georgians is associated with the historical stages of the people and 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: men's Bichiko'boy', Mgelika'wolf cub', Dzaglika‘puppy, doggy’, Chichiko‘little man’, female Gogol'young woman', Mzekala‘sun-maiden’, Cira‘red maiden’. Some names of original origin arose at a relatively later time. For example, male Vaja‘courageous, man’ appeared as part of a pseudonym ( Vazha Pshelava) 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, women's Dali, Tsiala). The names of this group arose in separate ethnographic groups of Georgians (Khevsurs, Pshavs, Imeretians, Gurians, Mingrelians, Svans, etc.). Over time, some of them became nationwide.
Throughout its history, the indigenous peoples of Georgia have closely communicated with the peoples of neighboring regions and states - North Caucasus, Armenia, Iran, Byzantium, the Arab Caliphate, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, etc. And all these contacts left an anthroponymic “trace” in the names of Georgians.
Significant contributions to the system of personal names of Georgians were made by Iran and the Arab Caliphate. The names were borrowed with the penetration of Perso-Arabic literature. Yes, men's Rostom, Bezhan, Givi- Georgian forms of Iranian names Rustam, Bijan, Giv, which were worn by the heroes of the Iranian epic “Shah-name”. The part of the epic in which these heroes act became especially popular among Georgians. Other names of this cultural-historical layer include men's Vakhtang, Zurabi, Muradi, Ramazi, women's Leila, Rusudani, Turpa. At the same time the name Vakhtang, known since the 5th century, is unfamiliar to the Iranians themselves.
Many Georgian names appeared in connection with the spread of Christianity (Georgians adopted Christianity already in the 5th century). These names are biblical (mostly Hebrew), 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 penetrated particularly actively among Georgians after the annexation of Georgia to Russia (1801 - East Georgian Kingdom, 1804 - Imreti, Megrelia, Guria, 1810 - Abkhazia, 1858 - Svaneti). 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 the exarchate. However, soon there was either nothing left of autonomous rights, or only one form remained. Since 1817, bishops of Russian nationality were appointed exarchs in Georgia; 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 Georgians actively named their children with names from the Orthodox calendar. However, anthroponymic contacts between Georgia and Russia through churches were not one-sided. The Russian Orthodox Church included in its month the days of memory of a number of Georgian saints:
Men's: Abo, Aviv, Anthony, Archil, Bidzin, Gabriel, Gobron, Gregory, David, Eustathius, Euthymius, Zeno, Hilarion, Isaac, Ise, Isidore, John, Constantine, Luarsab, Michael, Neophyte, Pyrrhus, Razhden, Stefan, Dry, Tarichan, Shalva, Shio, Elizbar, Thaddeus
Women's: Ketevan, Nina, Tamara, Shushanika
Among those listed there are names completely unknown to Russian Orthodox before their inclusion in the month book ( Abo, Archil, Bidzin, Gobron, Laursab, Pyrrhus, Razhden, Sukhiy, Tarichan, Shalva, Shio, Elizbar; Ketevan, Tamara). Some correlated with names already present in the calendar: Ise And Jesse, Shushanika And Susanna. From this group of Georgian names (I do not take into account the names of Georgian saints that coincide with the names of Russian Orthodox saints - Anthony, David, Mikhail 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 name Nina was known to Russians even without Georgians, but as an unofficial form of a number of official Orthodox names - Antonina, Domnina, Ansastasia. In the poem “Winter Road” by A. S. Pushkin, the lyrical hero, plunging into dreams, reflects:
Boring, sad...
Tomorrow, Nina,
Tomorrow, returning to my dear,
I'll forget myself 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 its full form, but in its abbreviated form - Lado.
Since the end of the 19th and especially in the 20th century, names from Georgians have become widespread mainly through literature and cinema. Western Europe: Albert, Maurice, Carlo, Edward, Diana, Inga, Irma and others. Georgians did not remain aloof from the names of Sovietism (for example, Dictatorship, Communists).
Ending -O in a number of Georgian names (especially male ones - Andro, Dato, Lado etc.) represents a form developed in Georgian language vocative case.
In Russian texts, the names of Georgians are often given in an adapted form - not Giorgi, A Georgiy, Not Akaki, A Akakiy, Not Iuri, A Yuri, Not Vasily, A Basil etc. In general, the transfer of Georgian names using Russian written means creates certain difficulties. Thus, it is difficult to convey Georgian names containing the letters ა, ე. For example, in female names ან ა and თ ე ა at the end there is a letter corresponding to the Russian “a”. But should it be conveyed in Russian through “a” in both cases? If yes, then in this case it will be Ana And Thea. But in the Russian name book the spelling is more common Thea. Similar questions arise when transferring names containing ე. In Russian it corresponds to both “e” and “e”. That is, is it necessary to convey the name of a Georgian woman in Russian as Ekaterine, Ekaterine, Ekaterine or stick to the adapted spelling Catherine? Another question is whether to double consonants in Georgian names like Ana, Natela, Neli, which correspond to Russian names Anna, Natella, Nelly? There are no double consonants in Georgian orthography. If we take transliteration (letter-by-letter transmission of names) 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 issues of written transmission of personal names and surnames into other languages (including Russian) are the subject of research. At least in Soviet time for each of the written languages, transmission principles were developed geographical names on geographical maps. They could be taken as a basis for the written transmission of personal names and surnames.
Some work is also being done towards establishing the etymology of Georgian personal names. I can recommend the following publication:
Glonti A. A. Kartvelsky proper names. Dictionary of anthroponyms. Tbilisi, 1967 (in Georgian).
Georgian male names are diverse; they fully reflect the history of the country, periods of its development, its culture, as well as the influence of friendly countries or even invaders. Over time, names changed, adapting to the language, new ones were born from them, which gradually occupied their niches and became full-fledged separate units. Today, it is sometimes quite difficult to see the common origin of two names that are based on the same word, and distinguishing the true origin of a name generally seems an impossible task.
Traditional Georgian male names
The most ancient names are formed from the names natural phenomena, animals, birds, plants, precious stones, etc., for example Vephia - tiger, Lomia - lion, Nukri - deer; or some character trait that parents would like to see in their son, for example, Alale is honest, Malkhaz is handsome, Raindi is a knight.
In addition, since ancient times there has been a tradition of naming children in honor of kings, famous commanders and other famous figures in the hope that the baby will repeat the fate of the great namesake. It is for this reason that the names of kings are still widespread in Georgia: Giorgi, Vakhtangi, David - or writers and poets: Shota, Ilia, Akaki, Vazha.
There are also Georgian male names that have analogues in other languages and carry the emotional load associated with the birth of a son - Velodi or Mindia for a long-awaited, expected child (Slavic analogue: Zhdan and Khoten), or Arvelodi (Nezhdan), if the birth of a baby was unplanned in the family.
Interesting fact: among Georgian names there are only a couple common for males and females - Suliko (darling) and Nukri (fawn).
Eastern names
For many years Georgia suffered raids eastern peoples, periodically establishing more or less with them friendly relations. Close, albeit forced, communication led to the borrowing of many names, which were tightly woven into the life of the country and became its integral part. Eastern names that are still popular today: Avtandil - the heart of the Motherland, Rati - lord, Badri - full moon - and many others.
Christian names
Georgia adopted Christianity in the 4th century, and from that time newborns began to be called by the Hebrew, Greek and Latin names that were mentioned in the Bible: Giorgi (George), Ioane (John), Luke, Mose (Moses), Mate (Matthew). It is noteworthy that these names do not lose their popularity to this day, occupying the top positions in the lists of the most common Georgian male names.
Russian names
In the 18th-19th centuries, when Georgia became closer to Russia and subsequently became part of Russian Empire, among Georgians, names that were traditional for Russia of the same faith, although not always having original Slavic roots, quickly spread: Egor, Yuri, Vladimir, etc. It is worth noting that due to linguistic differences, these names took a slightly different, distorted form - Iagora, Iuri , Vladimeri.
Separately, we can note the names that appeared during the USSR, which, as in the Russian language, were formed from the names of leaders or in honor of some significant events. For example, in the 20-30s of the 20th century, the composite names Vladlen (from Vladimir Lenin) and Lenstalber (from Lenin, Stalin, Beria) were popular.
European names
Western literature, and then cinema, having reached the general public in recent centuries, also contributed to the diversity of Georgian male names. Thus, the names John, Albert, Maurice, Edward, and Karl spread in Georgia. IN last years they are no longer found so often, giving way to traditional Orthodox names.
Popular
Modern Georgian male names, by and large, are not very different from those that were common even several centuries ago. Of course, now some of them are much less common, but the bulk remains unchanged. The reason for this is probably the naming tradition, according to which a boy often inherits the name of his grandfather or other older relative. As before, the most popular Georgian male name is Giorgi. Given in honor of St. George the Victorious, patron saint of Georgia.
In the last decade, the list of the most popular includes such beautiful Georgian male names as Giorgi, David, Nikoloz, Luka, Ilia, Mate, Saba, Demeter and others.
In addition, as in Russia, recently in Georgia there has been a tendency to use ancient names, which were practically unheard of 30 years ago. Among them we can note Lazare, Ioane, Gabrieli, which are becoming more and more popular every year.

The correct approach to choosing a person’s name significantly influences a person’s character, fate, and future life in general. Actively promotes development, forms positive qualities of character and behavior, strengthens health, and unconsciously eliminates negative traits of appearance.
Georgian names are the main component in the culture of the people. There are many interpretations of what names mean, but in reality, the influence of a particular name is individual for each person. Astrology and numerology have noted that the name has a serious influence on fate since ancient times. Therefore, parents take choosing a nickname for their heir or heiress very seriously.
Georgian male names and their meanings
The most frequently used options, meaning the highest grace, are chosen by almost all parents. The people greatly value Orthodox and cultural values in the name of their predecessor, fixing their gaze on names with the meaning “God”.
According to tradition, the days of remembrance of the listed Georgian saints are still included in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
- Janiko is a God in love, with a flaming heart.
- Berdo is a gift from God, given by God.
- Elijah - the fortress of the Lord
- Heraclius - hero, glory of Hera
- Ivane - God's mercy
- Avtandil - the heart of the homeland
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 existing external appearance data, which is not related to future life young men. There are several options that mothers of children love:
- Tornike – winner, God
- Lado - owner of the world
- Zaza is an old man, an elder (respected in the country).
- Beso - son of his beloved wife
- Giga is an affectionate form of the name George, derived from the divine Giga.
The meaning of a name may not have full influence. Using the example of the call Vazha, let’s look at (meaning masculinity, chivalry) - this does not mean at all that the owner of the name will become strong, and other bearers of different names will weaken.
Worth remembering! All people are different, therefore the influence of a particular name on each person is individual. It will help one, but on the contrary it will oppress the other.
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 saints
- Combination with patronymic or surname
- In honor of a relative (especially a deceased one)
- By value
The emergence of names
All the advantages of the system of proper names for the experienced population of Georgia do not end with these species. But it allows us to see the main steps in the formation of a folk collection of names. 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 oldest ball is complaints relying on the living language of Georgia, formed from common nouns.
Many names appeared among Georgians in connection with the expansion of Christianity. These names are from God (mostly of Hebrew and Greek origin). Let's look at some of them: Giorgi, Grigoli, David, Ioane (from John), Isaac, Moses (from Moses). Having united with the Russian Federation, the church lost for a hundred years independent activity in every way. The Georgian Church joined the Russian Orthodox Church at the beginning of the exarchate. Since 1817, bishops of Russian nationality were appointed exarchs in Georgia; Church property of Georgia was also transferred to the leadership 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). Becoming a member of the Russian Orthodox Church contributed to the fact that Georgians actively named children with calls with the interpretation of “God” from the Orthodox calendar. However, anthroponomic contacts between Georgia and Russia through the churches were not one-sided. The Russian Orthodox Church included in its monthly 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, like the people
- Nino - Russian nickname "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 statistics say, with this option it is very difficult to decide, not to mention the most current options mentioned above.
Conclusion
Names have many meanings and characteristics; they arose as a result of the combination of nouns and adjectives, forming one whole. After joining the Russian Federation, the popularity of Orthodox names for sons began. And even after many years, this tradition does not disappear, but on the contrary, it is gaining more and more popularity among the Georgian population.

Georgian names. Georgian male and female names and their meanings
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 mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).
On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We do not engage in healing or 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 written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books.
Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, 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 times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander 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 and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.
Therefore, please be careful!
Sincerely – Oleg and Valentina Svetovid
