It is well known that popular Irish surnames with the prefix "Fitz-" are often interpreted as deriving from the French word "fils", meaning "son."
However, considering that ancient Ireland was inhabited by the Hiberni—the Iberians—and that we have already demonstrated how another similar Irish prefix, "Mac-", has Kartvelian origins, we should also look for the word "Fitz-" in Kartvelian languages.
In Otari Kajaia’s dictionary, the Megrelian word "fitsi" (ფიცი) means "splinter"—something that breaks off from the main tree, much like a son, a descendant who separates from the family.
