A NOTE ON GEORGIAN NAMES At first glance it might seem like almost everybody in Georgia is related because their names sound so similar—all those -dze’s and -shvili’s. However, these suffixes are merely the Georgian equivalent of the Western -son (as in Ericson, which originally meant “Eric’s son”). The suffix -dze is Old Georgian for “son” and the suffix -shvili is Old Georgian for “child.” Whether someone is a -dze or -shvili depends on which side of the country his or her family comes from: the -dze (like Eduard Shevardnadze) are from western Georgia and the -shvili (like Mikheil Saakashvili) are from eastern Georgia. When a Georgian name is rendered into Latin script, it is written phonetically. You pronounce each letter and place the accent or stress on the suffix. For names ending with -dze, the “e” is stressed (e.g., sheh-vard-nad-ZEH); and for names ending with -shvili, the first “i” is stressed (e.g., sah-kash-VEE-lee).
