Sakartvelas

Etymology
. Officially approved by the  in 2018 as an alternate name for Georgia upon the country's request, as  was felt to be too similar to the Russian name. In exchange, Georgia also changed the official Georgian name of Lithuania from (a Russian borrowing) to  (based on the country's endonym in Lithuanian).

Usage notes

 * While Sakartvelas is used in official and/or formal settings, such as televised football commentary, colloquially and its derived terms are still preferred, even at restaurants serving Georgian cuisine.
