ArchivesRe: Meaning of the name Ketevan?
in reply to a message by Ylva
I found a hint:
"A large number of Persian names came into Georgian from the versions of the Šâh-nâma: Givi (< Gêv); Goderdz-i (< Gôdarz); Zurab-i (< Sohrâb); Ketevan (< Katâyûn); Zaal (< Zâl; cf. the family name Zaldastanishvili), etc."

Thank you, but what does Katayun mean?
Ketevan may come from the Persian Katayun but then I don't know what Katayun means.
