About georgian names
Surname endings do the identifying work, with dze in "Elguja Jeladze" and shvili in "Zaal Manvelishvili" both meaning roughly child of. Given names such as "Mariami" keep a final i, a Kartvelian habit that survives even on borrowed names. These fit Caucasus thrillers, Silk Road historical fiction, and wine country family epics in the Kakheti style.
How georgian names are built
A gendered given name pairs with a shared surname pool: 135 male and 93 female given names drawn against 265 surnames. Each result is a given name plus surname. Sample output includes Elguja Jeladze and Ivane Maisuradze for men and Lisa Svanidze and Salome Chavchavadze for women.

Naming notes
Female draws use the female given-name bank, male draws the male bank, and both close on the shared surname pool of 265 entries, which serves either gender. Many surname entries end in -dze or -shvili (Jeladze, Svanidze, Maisuradze). Region label: Georgia. The surname pool is the largest bank.
Questions about georgian names
- Why does one surname work for both men and women?
- The generator uses a single 265-entry surname pool for both patterns and lets the given name carry the gender, so a name like Salome pairs with any surname.
- How is a name assembled?
- A given name is drawn from the male 135-entry bank or the female 93-entry bank, then a surname from the shared 265-entry pool, always two words.
- What endings recur in the surname pool?
- Many surname entries end in -dze or -shvili (Jeladze, Svanidze, Maisuradze), stored as part of the bank.
