What's more interesting is, that, we Serbs, call them Gruziyans, although they call themselves Karthvelians...

well, Geos being Egyptians is just a joke of the year
however, there was a time in Egypt, when they were buying slaves from all over the world and these slaves were taught to fight and protect the nation. once the revolution came to Egypt and Slaves (mostly warriors) occupied the government. when Napoleon attacket Egypt he faced some Georgian warriors there and it is believed that once upon a time, Egyptian warrior called 'mamluk' was ethnicly georgian.
what I know about Serbian language is that it's close to Russian (member of Slavic group) and russians call Geo Gruzia, so Serbians, and other slavian countries call Geo as 'Gruzya'.
'Kartlos' is believed to be the name of first georgian, so that's how the name Kartveli comes from.
