From ჰად-(had-, “pontic azalea”) + -რა(-ra, “plant, tree designation”). The reconstruction of the root varies by source:
According to Klimov, from Proto-Kartvelian*ad-(“pontic azalea”). Cognate with Mingrelianოდ-იშ-ი(od-iš-i, “Odiši”, the traditional name of Mingrelia), for which compare Svanჰად-იშ(had-iš, toponym name in Svaneti).[1]
According to Čuxua, from ჰად-, ად-(had-, ad-) ← *ჲად-(*yad-) ← *ჲალ-(*yal-) ← *იალ-(*ial-), ultimately from Proto-Kartvelian*ial-(“pontic azalea”), cognate with Georgianიელი(ieli) and Mingrelianიოლი(ioli). For დ ← *ლ(d ← *l) he compares: Svanქუდა(kuda, “flock of scutched cotton”) against Georgianქულა(kula, “id.”); Svanჯუ̂იდ(ǯûid, “wax”) against Georgianცვილი(cvili, “id.”); Svanშედ-(šed-, “help”) against Georgianშველა(švela, “id.”). However the relation of the Svan root to Georgian and Mingrelian is rejected by Fähnrich.[2][3]
