Where is Zantaraya from? It does not seem Ukrainian. His father is called Malkhaz, so I guess it is Georgian? If so, how to write in Georgian? What does it mean?

It comes from Mingrelian and apparently means something like "little relative," but I don't speak any Georgian, so I might be mistranslating it.
The entry I found was the third on page 139 here: https://iverieli.nplg.gov.ge/bitstream/1234/533278/1/3000_Megruli_Gvar_Saxeli_2000_Tomi_I-II.pdf

The only making sense thing I found. I tried searching in Georgian language using translator, but couldn't find much and all those AI sites that don't have any info are giving me headache.
