Nugzar
A Georgian man's name carrying two senses at once: treasure and prince. Fewer than 300 men in Poland bear it and no boys were given it last year, so meeting one would stay with you.

What Nugzar means
Where Nugzar comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Nugzar is a man's name from Georgia, in the Caucasus, and the site files its origin simply as other, outside the familiar Slavic and Latin roots. The short meaning given to it is double: treasure and prince, skarb and książę in Polish. Two senses sit close together, one about worth and one about rank.
The name has a real prince to point to. Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky, born in Tbilisi in 1950 and dead in March 2025, was a theatre director and the head of the princely House of Gruzinsky, with a disputed claim to the old Georgian throne. So the reading of "prince" is not a flourish. It attaches to a documented man who bore the name.
In Poland the name stays rare. A Nugzar on a class register would draw a second look, the teacher pausing before the next line. The meaning stays: treasure and prince, skarb i książę.
