The Abkhazians call their homeland  ('''', ''''), popularly etymologised as "a land/country of the soul", yet literally meaning "a country of mortals (mortal beings)". It possibly first appeared in the seventh century in an Armenian text as ''Psin(oun)'', perhaps referring to the ancient Apsilians. The term "''Apkhazeti''" first appeared in the Georgian annals, which is of Mingrelian origin "Apkha" meaning back or shoulder, gave rise to the name ''Abkhazia''. It was used to denote Abasgia proper and entire Western Georgia within the Kingdom of Georgia. In early Muslim sources, the term "Abkhazia" was generally used in the meaning of Georgia. The Russian  ('''') is adapted from the Georgian  (''''). Abkhazia's name in most languages are derived directly from the Russian.
