Georgia's Amazons have been Armazions (moon god worshippers)

The name Amazon (fine women) was applied to the Sauromatian women and to the ancient natives of Georgia among the Greeks. In the case of Georgians, its origin was Armazion, which means worshipers of the moon god, which is confused with Amazon.

The texts of the original myths envisioned the homeland of the Amazons at the periphery of the then-known world. Various claims to the exact place ranged from provinces in Asia Minor (Lycia, Caria, etc.) to the steppes around the Black Sea, or even Libya (Libyan Amazon). However, authors most frequently referred to Pontus in northern Anatolia, on the southern shores of the Black Sea, as the independent Amazon kingdom where the Amazon queen resided at her capital Themiscyra, on the banks of the Thermodon river.
Gargarenses, (Greek: Γαργαρείς Gargareis) were an all-male tribe in Caucasus. They copulated with the Amazons annually in order to keep both tribes reproductive. The Amazons kept the female children, raising them as warriors, and gave the males to the Gargareans. Armazi: Supreme deity in ancient Kartli (Iberia). According to tradition, the cult of Armazi (deity of the moon) was introduced in the third century BCE by King Parnavaz, who erected a large bronze statue of a warrior of gilded copper, clad in a gold coat of mail with a gold helmet on his head; one eye was a ruby, the other an emerald. To the right of Armazi stood another smaller gold idol by the name of Gazi, and to the left, a silver idol called Gaim. The statue of Armazi existed until the spread of Christianity in the fourth century CE. Armazi is also the name of an ancient fortress near Mtskheta. Archeological digs uncovered monuments of antique architecture and a bilingual stele with Greek and Aramaic inscriptions from second century CE.
Giorgi Melikishvili proposed the identification of Armazi as a local variant of Arma, the god of the moon in Hittite mythology. This is in keeping with Ivane Javakhishvili's argument of a pre-Christian Georgian moon cult, which fused with the Christian St. George (Tetri Giorgi), Georgia's patron saint since the Middle Ages.
Starabo speaks of moon god worship in Iberia (Gorgia).
So Armazi's and St. George' names was connected with the name of moon god and Georgia (nice), and the moon is a symbol of beauty.
The name Parikania, which the Iranian gave to the Iberia in the Caucasus, means land of beautiful women (Amazon) and also means the land beside (Iberia).
