ავლაბარი
Georgian
editEtymology
editAttested from the 14th century. Origin is uncertain. Possible theories include:
- Compound of ავლა (avla, “v. to go up”) + ბარი (bari, “n. valley”), therefore it would literally mean "the valley up top". Indeed, Avlabari is situated on a hill in Old Tbilisi.
- Compound of ავი (avi) + ლაბიარი (labiari), literally meaning "bad neighborhood".
