Meaning & History

Indonesian, Malay and Georgian form of JAFAR. This name is archaic in Georgia and now only survives in the patronymic surname ჯაფარიძე (Japaridze) meaning "son of Japar".

In the case of the eponymous ancestor of the medieval Georgian noble family of Japaridze, the name Japar is thought to be of Mongol origin.
