Argentine footballers (and many others) are widely known by their nicknames, yet few people understand their origins. I am convinced that these are all Kartvelian words. Let's compile the list:
- Bichi Fuertes – "ბიჭი" (bichi), meaning "boy."
- Bochi Licht – "ბოჭი" (bochi), meaning "beetle."
- Kuki Silvera – "კუკი" (kuki), meaning "doll."
- Kili González – "ქილი" (kili), meaning "fang."
- Tati Buljubasich – "თათი" (tati), meaning "large hand."
- Titi Fernández – "თითი" (titi), meaning "finger."
- Toti Ríos – "ტოტი" (toti), meaning "paw."
- Chipi Barijo – "ჩიპი" (chipi), meaning "navel."
- Keko González – "კეკო" (keko), meaning "hoe."
- Toto Momposina – "თოთო" (toto), meaning "soft, tender."
- Pocho Insúa – "ფოჩო" (pocho), meaning "foolish."
