The name has gained international recognition due to notable individuals who bear it, such as Tamaz Gamkrelidze, a renowned Georgian linguist, and Tamaz Nadareishvili, a prominent Georgian politician. Tamaz is celebrated on the 1st of March in the Eastern Orthodox Church calendar, corresponding to Saint Tamaz's feast day. While not widely used outside of Georgia, it offers an interesting and lesser-known naming option for those seeking a name with a unique heritage.
