About Princess Eristavi

Gerbe

In december 2006, I’ve decided to create my own website.

The reason of it is mainly to give a way to my family and friends to give them news about our life, as we travel a lot.

Why “Princess Eristavi”?

Eristavi is a Georgian name that means litterally “head of nation”. Eristavi was a Georgian feudal office, roughly equivalent to the Byzantine strategos and normally translated into English as “duke”.

In the Georgian aristocratic hierarchy, this was the title of the third rank of prince and governor of a large province. Holders of the title were ex-officio commanders of a military ‘banner’, wore a distinctive dress, ring, belt and spear and rode a particular breed of horse.

Since August 06th 2004 (date of our marriage), I am the spouse of Revaz Eristavi. I am proud of my name and respect it as much as Georgians.
