Gogitidze Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The surname Gogitidze is first mentioned in a decree issued to the Gogitidze family by Vakhtang I Gurieli in 1572, according to which, he ordered the construction of a domed church called "Zarzma" on the territory of the Shemokmedi monastery to secure the Zarzma transfiguration icon and other precious church items, which have been brought by two brothers - Mate and Ioane Gogitidze from the abandoned Zarzma monastery in Samtskhe to Guria. According to the decree, Mate was a clergyman - a prior and his brother was granted a hereditary nobility (aznauri) title.
Initially, Gogitidzes were settled in Tao and Samtskhe provinces (in the vicinity of Zarzma). After the Ottoman invasions, in the XVI century, the majority of Gogitidzes fled from Samtskhe to Guria and Adjara. In the 1680-ies, a native of Tao, Solomon Gogitidze was promoted in the service of the Ottomans to the title of Pasha of Kars, under the name Seyid Yusuf Pasha. Later on, in order to secure their identity and Christian faith, he and other Gogitidzes resettled first to the Vaio village and later on to the Tskhemvani village of the Adjara province. Here, Solomon and his descendants founded many genealogical lines of the Gogitidze family, a large number of which resettled to Turkey during the big Muhacir, in the aftermath of the 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish war.
