He came to the United States in 1952 from his native Poland when he was 16.

I thought he was Estonian, although a Georgian swore he was Georgian. (No, not like Scarlet, like in SSR.)

His last name is clearly a Georgian last name.

There are Georgians living in Poland.

His surname has a -shvili- ending, indicating him as ethnic Georgian. As far as I know, it is unique to Georgian language.
