Baghdati

Baghdati

Baghdati ( _ka. ბაღდათი) is a town of 4,700 people in the Imereti region of western Georgia, at the edge of the Ajameti forest on the Khanistskali River. From 1940 to 1990, it was called Mayakovsky after the Russian poet who was born there.

The name "Baghdati" come from the Middle Persian compound of Bâg "god" + dād "given", translating to "god-given" or "God's gift", whence Modern Persian Baɣdād. The city shares the same etymology with the city of Baghdad, capital of the Republic of Iraq.
