Meaning & History
According to Georgian sources, this name is of Iranian origin and means "good" as well as "beautiful". Compare modern Persian خوب (xub) meaning "good, well, nice" and قشنگ (qašang) meaning "beautiful, lovely, pretty". The second element of this name likely consists of the Persian diminutive suffix ک- (-ak), which is also present in names like Babak and Roshanak.The best known bearer of this name is the medieval Georgian politician Khuashak Tsokali (12th century). Her name is also found written as Khvashak.
