Goergia has a sizable muslim minority (slightly less than 10% of the population, most notably in the autonomous region Adjara), so it is not completely surprising to have people with Geogian surnames and muslim given names. I don't know details about the namesake in question, this is just a general remark.

The names "Enver" and "Omar" are not traditionally Georgian. "Enver" is of Turkish origin, meaning "luminous" or "brighter," and is also used in Bosnian and Albanian contexts. "Omar" is of Arabic origin, symbolizing "flourishing" and "long-lived" in Islamic traditions.In Georgia, the most common first names include Giorgi, Nino, Davit, Tamar, and Mariam. These names are deeply rooted in Georgian culture and history.Enver Tskitishvili's surname, "Tskitishvili," is distinctly Georgian, indicating Georgian heritage. His first name, "Enver," and patronymic, "Omarovich" (son of Omar), suggest influences from Turkish and Arabic cultures, respectively. This combination of names implies a multicultural background, possibly reflecting the diverse ethnic composition of the Luhansk region, where Alchevsk is located. The presence of Georgians in Alchevsk further supports the likelihood of cultural and naming influences from various traditions.Sources: 1. https://babynames.com/name/enver; 2. https://www.momjunction.com/baby-names/omar/; 3. https://forebears.io/georgia/forenames
