Name

The Georgian word gamarjveba (გამარჯვება) means “victory”. No official document stating the date of or reason for the naming of the street could be found (a search on matsne.gov.ge returned no results), so the specific meaning intended by the name is not confirmed. In national romanisation the name is written Gamarjveba Street, the form also used in OSM.

According to Georgian Wikipedia, the territory of Mukhiani was once covered by oak forest, from which the neighbourhood takes its name (მუხა, mukha, means “oak”); development of the area began in the 1970s, and construction of residential apartment blocks started in the 1980s.
