The name of this site – Armazi – is that of one of the main gods of the people of ancient Kartli (Iberia) in the South Caucasus. Armazi was proclaimed supreme royal god by the first Kartlian king, Parnavaz I, in the fourth century BCE. An old tradition credits Parnavaz I with devising the first Georgian script. Armazi is also the name of a fortress near modern Mtskheta that dates from the same period.

"Armazi, god of gods..., the great gods, conquerors of the world, lighters of the sun, givers of rain, who cause the fruits of the earth to grow..."
