Meaning & History
Derived from an old Georgian word that means "beautiful". The name was once common for both men and women, but it became nearly extinct after the word of origin became a pejorative in Georgian, with the meaning of "show-off, clown".A notable bearer of this name was the Georgian Bagratid prince Ashot Kekela (9th century AD). It was an epithet in his case however, as the full name translates to "Ashot the Beautiful" in English.
