About Georgian names

Georgian names belong to the Kartvelian language family, unrelated to Russian, Turkish or Persian, so they have a sound all their own: first names such as Giorgi, Davit, Levan, Irakli, Nikoloz and Zurab for men, Nino, Tamar, Mariam, Ketevan, Natia and Salome for women. Many come from the Orthodox calendar in Georgian form (Ioseb, Iakob, Ekaterine, Elene), others from medieval epics and royalty (Tinatin, Nestan, Rusudan, Vakhtang, Bagrat), and a few from everyday words, like Mzia from 'sun' and Gvantsa from a mountain flower. Nicknames are nearly universal: Dato for Davit, Gela for Giorgi, Keti for Ketevan, Sopo for Sopio, Tamuna for Tamar.

Surnames tell you roughly where a family is from. The suffix -shvili ('child of') dominates the east around Tbilisi and Kakheti (Gelashvili, Javakhishvili), -dze ('son of') the west in Imereti and Guria (Beridze, Gogoladze), -ia, -ua and -ava are Megrelian (Shengelia, Todua, Kharebava), -ani is Svan (Dadiani, Kvitsiani), and -uri, -uli and -eli mark the mountain regions and old noble houses (Tsiklauri, Arabuli, Tsereteli, Eristavi). Princely families like Bagrationi and Orbeliani carry their own endings. Georgians use no patronymic in daily life, so a full name is simply first name plus surname.

The list pairs common first names with surnames from every region, and adds real figures from Georgian history for characters with royal or literary weight.

How to choose Georgian names

  • Match the surname suffix to the region of your character: -shvili for Tbilisi and the east, -dze for Kutaisi and the west, -ia or -ua for Samegrelo, -ani for Svaneti, -uri or -uli for the Khevsureti and Tusheti highlands.
  • Georgian first names do not change by gender the way Slavic ones do, so learn which are which: Nino, Natia, Tamar, Keti and Salome are always female; Giorgi, Levan, Irakli, Zurab and Vakhtang always male. Nika is male in Georgia.
  • Use the everyday nickname in dialogue and the formal name in documents: Dato and Davit, Soso and Ioseb, Eka and Ekaterine, Lado and Vladimer.
  • For a historical or noble character, reach for royal and princely names such as Bagrat, Tamar, Vakhtang, Erekle, Demetre, Dadiani, Orbeliani or Amilakhvari rather than a modern village surname.
  • Transliterations vary: Giorgi or Georgi, Mikheil or Mikhail, Ketevan or Qetevan, Tsereteli or Cereteli. Pick one system and stay consistent throughout a story.

Frequently asked questions

What do Georgian surname endings like -shvili and -dze mean?

Both mean 'child of' or 'son of'. -shvili is typical of eastern Georgia (Gelashvili, Javakhishvili) and -dze of the west (Beridze, Kapanadze). Other endings are regional: -ia, -ua and -ava are Megrelian, -ani is Svan, and -uri, -uli and -eli are found in the mountains and among old noble families.

What are the most common Georgian first names?

For men, Giorgi is by far the most common, followed by Davit, Nikoloz, Luka, Irakli, Levan and Zurab. For women, Nino leads, with Mariam, Tamar, Ana, Natia, Nana, Ketevan and Salome close behind. Short forms like Dato, Gela, Keti and Tamuna are used constantly in speech.

Are these names for the country Georgia or the US state?

The country in the Caucasus. Its own name for itself is Sakartvelo and its people are Kartvelians, with a unique language and alphabet. For Southern US names, try an American or Southern name generator instead.

Can I use these names for fantasy characters?

Yes. Georgian names have an unusual, consonant-rich sound that works well for mountain kingdoms, knightly orders and medieval courts, and the real medieval names (Tamar, Vakhtang, Davit Aghmashenebeli, Tsotne Dadiani) give a strong historical flavor without sounding Western European.
