Here follows an overview of what the available sources have to say about Revaz. I will be using both Google Translate and Wiktionary for the translations, though I will always heavily prefer the latter.- http://kids.ge/baby-name?id=547 (in Georgian): Revaz is of Arabic origin and means "content, satisfied, glad, amused".- https://web.archive.org/web/20130130185556/http://name.interes.ge/dreams.php?action=view&id=792&from=action=search|by=%E1%83%A0 (in Georgian): Revaz is of Iranian origin and means "richest, wealthiest" as well as "excellent" and "noble, prominent".- http://www.geogen.ge/ge/msearch/4320/ (in Georgian): their entry for Revaz is an exact copy of the archived source above, which I am including here just in case.- https://imya.com/name/31424 (in Russian): Revaz is of Parthian origin and means "bringing abundance".- https://onomast.com/name/30447/Revaz (in English): Revaz is of Parthian origin and means "favorable, benevolent, propitious; who brings wealth".- http://armenian.name/index.php?a=list&d=1&t=dict&w1=R&w2=RE (in English): Revaz is of Persian origin and comes from "revaz", the name of a plant. It first appeared in the 17th century (not sure if they are talking about the plant or about the use of Revaz as a given name).The connection to Iranian (be it Parthian or Persian) seems to be the strongest, so that should indeed be the most likely origin. There appears to be no Parthian dictionary or glossary available on-line, so for the verification of those meanings, we will have to make do with other Iranian languages, namely Avestan and (Middle) Persian.In Avestan, the words that most closely resemble Revaz are 'haurvata' and 'raêvañt', both of which have a connection to abundance. 'Raêvañt' especially comes quite close to the meaning mentioned by the Russian source, as it can mean "wealth-bestowing".• haurvata: http://www.avesta.org/avdict/avdict.htm#dcth (in English) • raêvañt: http://www.avesta.org/avdict/avdict.htm#dctr (in English)The literal meaning of 'raêvañt' is "glittery", however: "rich, wealthy" is actually a secondary meaning. This is explained by Abolala Soudavar on page 29 of "Discrediting Ahura Mazdā's Rival: The Original Iranian Creator God "Apam Napāt" (or Apam Naphāt?)":https://books.google.de/books?id=aDPwCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA29 (in English)Also compare Middle Persian 'rāyōmand' meaning "rich, majestic" on page 71 of "A Concise Pahlavi Dictionary" by D. N. MacKenzie and New Persian رایومند (râyumand) meaning "rich":https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rich#Translations (in English)It turns out that Rayomand is also a masculine Parsi name, which the source below states has the meaning of "full of glory":http://www.avesta.org/znames.htm#parsi (in English)I am unable to find similar information for the other meanings - not even about the plant named revaz, which should have been the easiest. All in all, it looks like the connection to abundance and wealth is the most likely for this name.
