Have a look at this old thread- Lumia describs Ketevan as one of the many Georgian names which derive from Iranian (Persian) names. She cites "Katâyûn" as the original form. Cleveland Evans defines Katayun as a Persian name which means "learned." If this is correct, Ketevan is not a permutation of Katherine.
