Mepe ( ; ) is a royal title used to designate the Georgian monarch, whether it is referring to a king or a queen regnant. The title was originally a male ruling title.
==Etymology== The word is derived from Georgian word მეუფე (meupe) which literally means sovereign and lord. Some Georgian dialects have the term as ნეფე (nepe), all derived from common Proto-Kartvelian მფ/მეფე/მაფა (mp/mepe/mapa). Even though mepe has a female equivalent, დედოფალი (dedopali; ) it is only applied to the king's consort and does not have a meaning of a ruling monarch.
