ArchivesTariel
I've recently come across the name Tariel, the name of a male character in a Georgian epic poem titled "The Knight in the Panther's Skin." I've been trying to find out what the meaning behind the name in Georgian is but haven't had much success. I've looked at some of the other names in it. Tariel's love interest is Nestan-Darejan means "unlike any other in the world" or "unique, matchless"; Avtandil means "heart of the sun"; and Tinatin means "light". If anyone who knows the Georgian language or is familiar with the name, please let me know. I'm really curious.

Using google translate I found these sources:
ტარიელ – (ირან)”მფლობელი”
Tariel - (Iran) "owner".
ტარიელ – შოთა რუსთაველის „ვეფხისტყაოსნის“ მთავარი გმირის სახელი, ამჟამად ფართოდ არის გავრცელებული. როგორც ფიქრობენ, მომდინარეობს ირანული დარიელ-ისაგან, რომელიც ორი ნაწილისაგან შედგება: დარ, დარა - „მეუფე“, „მეფე“, „მფლობელი“ და იელ – „გმირი“, „მოყმე“. ამრიგად, ტარიელი ნიშნავს „მეფე გმირს“, „მოყმე მეფეს“.
The name of the main character of Tariel - Shota Rustaveli "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" is now widely spread. As you think, comes from the Iranian Darial, which consists of two parts: Dar, Dara - "King", "King", "Owner" and "Yale" - "Hero", "Get". Thus, Tariel means "King of the Hero", "Take Me to the King."
Edit:
Here's another source:
The surname Tarielashvili, literally "child of Tariel" , Tariel is a male given name, Etymologically it is the Georgian transliteration of the Persian name Darius which means "rich and kingly", surname usually created of this meaning.
Some of the Georgian sources said the same thing, if it's the Georgian form of Darius the name would mean "To Possess Good". I think that's more right than the "Rich and Kingly" meaning.
Someone who knows Georgian needs to double check it for sure, but I think it is the Georgian form of Darius.
