Meaning & History
Derived from Old Georgian ცხო (tskho) meaning "other, foreign" and Old Georgian ქალი (kali) meaning "woman, wife". The literal meaning of this name is thus "foreign woman", but its figurative meaning is the actual intended meaning. It is "woman from an other family", as in: a woman who has recently married into a family and is thus still a stranger to her husband's family.This name is not to be confused with the Old Georgian word ცოცხალი (tsotskhali) meaning "alive" as well as "healthy".
