Imeretinsky (Georgian: იმერეტინსკი; Russian: Имеретинский) is a title and later the surname of the Georgian royal family branch of the royal Bagrationi dynasty of Kingdom of Imereti.[1]
Solomon II of Imereti was the last Georgian king of Kingdom of Imereti until it was annexed by Russian Empire in 1810.
The name "Imeretinsky" (also spelled Imeretinski, or Imeretinskii) derives from Russian, originally and literally meaning "of Imereti".
