True Left

Although the one of the possible original etymologies of Georgia is a word to distinguish agricultural ethnic groups from non-agricultural ones, the specific spelling many nations use to refer to Georgia came to them from the Russian language. In the past decade, a number of countries have de-Russified their official names for Georgia:

The Russian name for Georgia is Gruziya (Грузия [‘gruzʲɪjə]), believed to come from Persian origin. This name first appeared as gurzi in Ignatiy Smolnyanin’s travel documents dating back to 1389. Later, the name grew popular among Slavic regions and across the Russian Empire.

With the request of the Georgian government, Israel, Lithuania, Japan, and South Korea changed their exonyms for the country to “Georgia.” Lithuania plans to call Georgia by its native name, Sakartvelo, in 2018.

And Georgia de-Russified their name for Lithuania in return:

As a gesture of appreciation, Georgia also changed Lithuania's Russian-derived name of "Litva" (Russian: Литва) to its native "Lietuva".[27]
