Meaning & History
Meaning unknown. It is perhaps related to the Old Georgian compound word სისვისფერს (sisvispers) meaning "colourful, full of colour". The modern Georgian equivalent of the elements in that word are სისავსის (sisavsis) meaning "of fullness" (genitive of სისავსე (sisavse) meaning "fullness") and ფერი (peri) meaning "colour". Also compare the modern Georgian compound word ცისფერი (tsisperi) meaning "sky blue" or more literally, "celestial colour".A known bearer of this name was the Georgian outlaw Sisona Darchia (1860-1891).
