The church is named after St. Davit Gareji, a Syrian priest who helped spread Christianity in Georgia in the 6th century and lived in a small cell where the church is now located.
Each week, St. Davit Gareji would come down from Mount Mtatsminda and preach the gospel to the inhabitants of the city.
