He's name is Zakharia (or Zakaria) on Georgian, not Zachary. --მოცარტი (talk) 18:07, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I said that he is Zakharia, not Zachary. He is Georgian composer, not russian, why did someone change his name?!--80.92.181.135 (talk) 06:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Zachary is an English equivalent of Zakharia. The name itself is neither Georgian, nor Russian, nor English, it is Hebrew, as many other languages in the Christian world. Unless specifically preferred by the specific individual, such international names are not transliterated. Only the ones that are originally Georgian, Russian, English etc. are to be transliterated since they do not have an equivalent. --141.161.58.95 (talk) 06:23, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Naming this man "Zachary" (an explicitly English transliteration of a Hebrew name - and one that just happens to be very close to the Russian form) does not seem entirely appropriate. The name in the form it was given to this man is Georgian. English sources, when they speak of him (which is admittedly not often) have been using "Zakaria" or "Zaqaria" or some variation thereof for a very, very long time (probably about the same time they stopped writing about "Louis Kossuth".) In English we do not speak of Michael Saakashvili, Edward Shevardnadze, or George Kinkladze; going further back, no one talks about Nicholas Baratashvili or Elias (Eli?) Chavchavadze. The move to Zachary may have been well-intentioned, but it does not reflect actual usage and should be reversed as soon as possible. As far as I know, Wikipedia suggests that all names be put in the form most common in current English-language sources - and that, if such a form cannot be determined, we go with the transliteration. Translating people's names can lead to real monstrosities. Hubacelgrand (talk) 14:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
