Saberdzneti
Saberdzneti ((グルジア語:საბერძნეთი) (:saberdznetʰi)) was an ambiguous geographic term used in medieval and early modern Georgian historical sources to refer to Ancient Greece, Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire,〔Metreveli, p. 164〕 while ''berdzeni'' ((グルジア語:ბერძენი)) was a name for people who lived in those states.〔Metreveli, p. 233〕 Later the name ''saberdzneti'' came to mean simply "Greece" and ''berdzeni'' "the Greek".〔Khintibidze, p. 105〕 ''Saberdzneti'' literally means "Land of the Berdzens" (i.e. "Land of the Greeks.)〔Metreveli, pp. 233-235〕
== Etymology ==
The ethnonym ''berdzeni'' is presumed to be related to Pelasgians (Πελασγός), it being derived from the phonetical variant ''pel'' of the root ''ber''. The ''dz'' of ''ber-dz-eni'' must be a variant of the ''Pel-as-goi'', as s/z may in all likelihood have changed to dz in Georgian. This is also indicated by the existence of the stem ''bersen'' alongside ''berdzen'' in Georgian surnames like "Bersenadze".〔Khintibidze, p. 104〕
There is also another theory that ''berdzeni'' was actually coined from the Georgian word "wise" ''brdzeni'' ((グルジア語:ბრძენი)),〔Kamusella, Tomasz (2009) ''The Politics of Language and Nationalism in Modern Central Europe'', Palgrave Macmillan〕 thus ''saberdzneti'' would literally mean "land where the wise men live", possibly referring to the Ancient Greek philosophy.〔Rapp, Stephen H. (1997) ''Imagining History at the Crossroads: Persia, Byzantium, and the Architects of the Written Georgian Past, Volume 1'', University of Michigan, p. 207〕 The same root is also adopted in Abkhazian and Greece is referred as ''barzentyla'' (Барзентәыла).
