unknown phonetics

[norseamd]

For the first time in a long time I found a name with phonetics that I was not able to identify right away. Have not went and started looking it up yet.

Eldar Kurtanidze

Right now my guess would be some Siberian or Central Asian name, maybe Turkic or a language family related to Mongolian or other such language families in the area.

 

[Iron Woode]

I am leaning more Eastern European or possibly Scandinavian.

Does not seem Germanic at all, so probably not any norse languages. There are however quite a few minorities in Northeast Europe, most unfortunately most of them are in Russia. Does not seem finnic at all either, so that probably rules out Finnish or Karelian.

 

[gorobei]

given that he's a georgian wrestler, one would assume georgia.

and technically not really phonetics. maybe Etymology or Onomastics

So Caucasian. Not even Indo-European, but that was basically easy to see.

Was trying to think of the K word for the language family before I looked it up, but was too hard. The name of the language family is Kartvelian.

No actually phonetics. You can usually tell what language something is by the way the words sound.
