One theory on the etymology of the name Iberia, proposed by Giorgi Melikishvili, was that it was derived from the contemporary Armenian designation for Georgia, Virkʿ (Armenian: Վիրք, and Ivirkʿ [Իվիրք] and Iverkʿ [Իվերք]), which itself was connected to the word Sver (or Svir), the Kartvelian designation for Georgians.[4] The letter "s" in this instance served as a prefix for the root word "Ver" (or "Vir"). Accordingly, in following Ivane Javakhishvili's theory, the ethnic designation of "Sber", a variant of Sver, was derived from the word "Hber" ("Hver") (and thus Iberia) and the Armenian variants, Veria and Viria.[4]
Just noticed this reading about something else. Sber seems like it could be the origin of Siberia?
Kingdom of Iberia (antiquity) - Wikipedia
Also notice, Iberia in Asia, and Albania also in Asia.
I am going to throw in something I couldn't figure out where to put as well.
In Anatolia there formerly was a tribe called the Germiyans
Germiyanids - Wikipedia
Kind of sounds like German.
Also in Anatolia formerly was the Sultanate of Rum
Sultanate of Rum - Wikipedia
And you will see Rum was another version of Rome.
You may recall Rumi
Rumi - Wikipedia
literally that means 'the Roman'
