Additional info:

An unusual version of Mary coming from the Svania region of Georgia. Lamara was overwhelmingly the most common female name in the Svania region of Georgia until the Svan people started moving to other parts of Georgia. The frequent use of Lamara came from their culture's Georgian Orthodox Christianity, strong respect for elder and wise women and as such for Mary, the mother of Jesus.
