The ancient inhabitants of the interior of modern Libya were called "Garamanti". The toponym can be quite confidently interpreted as the Kartvelian-like "Garamaneti" (it is difficult to explain the combination "nt" otherwise), which is divided into exclusively Kartvelian morphemes: "Garam + an + et + i" - the root, the adjective suffix, the suffix of place and the ending of the nominative case. This word "garami" is from the Megrelian language, which means "no-land", "hell", "abyss" and is technically an adjective formed out of "gara" - "weeping". Thus, "Garamani" would means "related to abysses" or "living in hell", and "Garamaneti" would mean "the country of those people". How well the name conveys the essence of the Garamantes' country is evident in their capital Germa, which has preserved the root to this day. The country is indeed extremely steep and hot as hell.
The same root is also present in the name Garmati Tavriani in the Primary Chronicle, which eventually led to "Crimea".
