أصل الاسم

The term Borjgali is believed to derive from Megrelian word ბარჩხალი (barchkhali), which literally means "strong shining". Some other scholars believe that it has different origins. In old Megrelian borj means "time" and gal means "pass" or "flow". So the whole phrase would mean "the flow of time".


الاستخدام

This pre-Christian symbol was widely used in both western (Colchis) and eastern Georgia (in Georgian architecture's Dedabodzi, "mother-pillar") as part of a Darbazi in the Kura–Araxes culture as a holy symbol.[4] During the medieval period, this symbol was incorporated as a part of Christian symbolism.

Nowadays, the symbol is used in Georgian IDs and passports, as well as on currency and by the Georgian Rugby Union. Georgian rugby team players are called ბორჯღალოსნები (borjgalosnebi), which means "Men bearing Borjgali". It was also used on the naval ensign of Georgia during the late 1990s and early 2000s.[5] Georgian nationalists often use the symbol to emphasize national pride.[بحاجة لمصدر]
