EUROPEAN TOPONYMS IN KARTVELIAN SURNAMES

Now let's take the toponyms from Ptolemy's map of Europe (Adriatica, Central Europe and Ukraine), then add to them -SHVILI and -DZE endings of Kartvelian surnames, and see how many real Kartvelian surnames we'll have.

Viana - Vianashvili
Kurta - Kurtashvili
Arba - Arbashvili
Salua - Saluashvili
Sardona - Sardonashvili
Bulba - Bulbashvili
Bizia - Biziashvili
Parka - Parkashvili
Tarana - Taranashvili
Lagira - Lagiradze
Vanoa - Vanoashvili

The above Kartvelian surnames are real.
