The sword is Georgian, hence I would call it Qama.

The writing is a male name: "Aksnti Peradze."

Peradze is a common Georgian family name, but Aksnti appears to be a variation of the more common Aksenti.

Thanks a lot for your comment. So I learnt that I have a qama from Georgia and not a Kindjal from Daghestan

Exactly!

Although they are exactly the same weapon... very much like the Omani KHANJAR and the Yemeni JAMBiYA.
