Municipality in Adjara

Further inland along the Acharistsqali river lies Keda Municipality, a mountainous and predominantly ethnic Georgian region with a significant Islamic heritage (accounting for 62% of the population). Characterized by profound geographic isolation, the 63 villages of Keda are nestled within the folds of the Shavsheti and Meskheti ranges. The taxonomy here reveals a fascinating socio-cultural dynamic: the prevalent use of patronymic village names ending in the plural suffix -ebi, meaning "the ones of" (e.g., Baladzeebi, Gegelidzeebi, Sikhalidzeebi). This linguistic marker indicates that these settlements originated as extended clan or familial homesteads isolated by the rugged topography, eventually expanding and formalizing into recognized municipal entities over centuries.
