The Most Common Surnames of Abkhazia

Abkhazia is a region located on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, bordered by Russia in the north and Georgia in the south. The region is known for its rich history and unique culture, which is reflected in its language and traditions. One aspect of Abkhaz culture that is particularly interesting is their naming traditions. Here, we will explore some of the most common surnames in Abkhazia.

The Importance of Surnames in Abkhazia

In Abkhazia, surnames carry a lot of weight and are an important marker of identity.

This tradition is thought to have developed as a way to strengthen family ties and reinforce the importance of women in Abkhaz society.
