Batonishvili - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Batonishvili (literally and originally, “a son of the lord” in Georgian) was a title for princes and princesses of the blood royal in the Transcaucasian kingdom of Georgia, and was suffixed to the Christian name e.g., Alexandre Batonishvili, Ioane Batonishvili. |
 | | The title was eventually borne not only by the children of the reigning king (mepe), but by all male-line descendants of past kings. |
 | | In fact, members of the Kartli, Kakheti, Mukhrani, and Imereti branches of the Bagratid dynasty all bore the title of Batonishvili in Georgia and had descendants living in Russia in the 19th century. |
