Lol what? Samacahblo was a historical district in shida kartli region of Georgia which was controlled by the aristocratic Machabeli family from the 15th century onwards,  while the Ossetian migration into Georgia started from 17th century onwards, when Machabelis controlled that territory there were no Ossetian settelemnts on the South Caucasus at all.

So really by all means Samachablo is a legitimate historical  name of the region unlike 'South ossetia', which is nothing more than a artficial Bolshevik creation on the Gerogia soil with no historical legitimacy behind it.
