Form of Agatha in various languages.

Russian, Bulgarian and Belarusian form of Andrew.

Meaning unknown, possibly of Sumerian origin. In Armenian legend this was the name of an Armenian king who was so handsome that the Assyrian queen Semiramis went to war to capture him. During the war Ara was slain.

Meaning uncertain. According to one Armenian scholar, the name comes from the ancient Urartian name Asud, which he states has the meaning of "quiet, peaceful". Others theorize that the name is possibly derived from the Armenian noun աշխարհ (ashkharh) meaning "world, universe" as well as "land, country". Yet others connect the name to the Persian noun آتش (atash) meaning "fire".

In the medieval period, this name was not only borne by several Armenian kings, but also by Georgian kings from the historical Tao-Klarjeti region.

The meaning of this name is not known for certain. It could be derived from Hungarian bél meaning "guts, bowel" or Old Slavic bělŭ meaning "white". This was the name of four Hungarian kings. It was also borne by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók (1881-1945).

Boril of Bulgaria was the emperor of Bulgaria from 1207 to 1218.

A city in Italy bears this name, though in this case it originates from Latin Mediolanum, perhaps ultimately of Celtic origin meaning "middle of the plain". In some cases the city name may be an influence on the use of the given name.

Georgian form of the Middle Persian name Mihran (see Mehran). This name is often confused with Mirvan, at least partially because of the latter's variant Mirean.

Armenian and Georgian form of the Jewish name Shambat, which is also found written as Sembat, Shembat and Shmbat.

The meaning of the name is not quite certain. According to an English source, Shambat is identical to Hebrew שַׁבָּת (shabat) meaning "Sabbath". However, a Russian source claims that the name is derived from an Aramaic word that means "winner, victor". Either way, at least we can conclude that the name originated from one of the Semitic languages.

Sumbat was the name of several medieval Georgian princes, the earliest of which was Sumbat I of Klarjeti (died in 899 AD).
