People in Georgia are creative with their naming. Most of their names are unique and rare with slightly tricky pronunciations and unusual spelling. Modern parents pick names that sound good and are influenced by popular culture. Traditional parents, on the other hand, are conservative in their naming choices. They select traditional Christian or Russian names and give their unique Georgian touch to it.
The first Georgian surname to be recorded dates back to the 7th or 8th century. Earlier, the surnames were toponymic or patronymic in nature, or would be derived from social status, title, profession or position. Today, the Georgian surnames are mainly from patronymics and occasionally from toponyms, along with various suffixes. The suffixes used in Georgia vary by the region, with the most common being –shvili, which means child, -dze, which means son, -eli, which means ‘from’, -uri or –uli, which refers to the mountainous region of eastern Georgia and –iani, a surname from the mountainous western Georgia among many.
