Meaning & History
Meaning unknown. According to the available Georgian sources, no convincing etymology has been provided for the name to this day. Meanwhile, a Russian source derives the name from modern Persian بنده (bande) meaning "servant, slave", which ultimately comes from Middle Persian bandag meaning "servant". Both words are etymologically related to the modern English word bond (as in, something that binds).
