Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and its baby names reflect that unique position. With its own ancient alphabet (one of only 14 in the world) and a naming tradition stretching back millennia, Georgian names offer something truly distinctive.
The Georgian Alphabet
Georgian has its own script — Mkhedruli — which looks like no other writing system on Earth. The rounded, flowing characters give Georgian names a visual beauty even before you hear them spoken.
Names for Girls
Nino — Georgia's most important female name. Saint Nino converted Georgia to Christianity in the 4th century. Simple, strong, and carries the weight of national identity.
Tamari — After Queen Tamar, who ruled Georgia's Golden Age (1184-1213). She's the only female ruler in Georgian history referred to as "King" rather than "Queen" — that's how respected she was.
Maia — Means "mother" in many languages, but in Georgia it connects to the ancient goddess of spring. Warm and universal.
Salome — While known globally from biblical tradition, in Georgia it's associated with Saint Salome of Ujarma. Elegant and timeless.
Ketevan — A distinctly Georgian name meaning "beautiful." Queen Ketevan was martyred in 1624 and is one of Georgia's most revered saints.
Names for Boys
Giorgi — The Georgian form of George, and by far the most popular name in the country. Saint George is Georgia's patron saint — the country's name in English literally comes from him.
Davit — The Georgian David. King David the Builder (1089-1125) is considered the greatest Georgian monarch. A name of strength and vision.
Luka — The Georgian form of Luke. Clean, international, and increasingly popular worldwide.
Nikoloz — The Georgian Nicholas. Has a distinctive sound that sets it apart from other European forms of the name.
Irakli — From Heraclius, meaning "glory of Hera." Multiple Georgian kings bore this name. Strong and regal.
The Caucasus Character
Georgian names blend Mediterranean warmth with Caucasian strength. They're melodic yet substantial — names that sound beautiful and carry stories of saints, kings, and ancient traditions.
