How the Georgian Name Generator works
This Georgian name generator gives names from Georgia in the Caucasus, with first names such as Giorgi, Levan, Nino and Tamar, and surnames that end in -shvili, -dze, -ia or -ani depending on the region. Use it for characters, games and learning how Georgian names work.
How the Georgian name generator builds surnames
Georgian surnames carry their region in the ending. The two most common endings, -shvili meaning child and -dze meaning son, are spread across the country, with -shvili more common in the east and -dze in the west. Names ending in -ia and -ava come mainly from Samegrelo, the Mingrelian-speaking west, and -ani is typical of the mountain region of Svaneti. The generator picks a root and an ending in those styles, so names may be invented but follow the real patterns.
Georgian first names
Giorgi, after St George, is by far the most common boy's name in Georgia, and Nino, after the saint who brought Christianity to the country, is a classic girl's name. Tamar honours the medieval Queen Tamar, Vakhtang a fifth-century king, and Shota the poet Shota Rustaveli. Short forms such as Tako for Tamar and Eka for Ekaterine are used every day.
