Besarionis is Georgian in Origin.

Besarionis is a Georgian form related to Besarion, itself from Greek Bessarion, a name of likely Egyptian/Coptic origin. In Georgian, the -is ending marks the genitive ("of Besarion") and appears in formal patronymic constructions, which explains why Besarionis occurs in records; as an independent given name it remains rare. The meaning is uncertain; scholars link it to Coptic elements and the ascetic tradition rather than a transparent Greek root.

Carried from Late Antiquity by Saint Bessarion of Egypt and later by the scholar-cardinal Bessarion (15th century), the name spread through Orthodox lands. Georgian usage centers on Besarion, remembered through figures like Besarion Jughashvili ("Beso"), father of Joseph Stalin. Variants include Bessarion (Greek/Latinate), Vissarion (Russian), Visarion (Romanian and Albanian), and Georgian Besarion; common Georgian diminutives are Beso and Besik/Besiko. Rare, traditional, and ecclesiastically tinged, Besarionis offers a distinctly Georgian twist on this venerable monastic name.
