Stalin, Julia Roberts and a winger: Georgia's three-name list
iFAMOUS Editorial Desk · 1 min read
Georgia's origin list for August 2026 is led by the Soviet dictator, with an American actress of Georgian descent and a PSG footballer behind him.
Three people from Georgia are measured on the iFANN Global Fame Rankings for August 2026, and the most famous of them has been dead since 1953. Joseph Stalin, born in Gori and dictator of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death, scores 22.2. The world's attention to his birthplace still runs through him, more than seventy years on.
Second is Julia Roberts, the American actress and producer, at 19.3. She sits on this list because the origin tag files her under Georgian descent, one of the adjacent placements such tables gather, and the gap between her and Stalin is only three points. Third, and the only name whose career is bound to the country as it exists today, is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the left winger at Paris Saint-Germain who captains the Georgia national team, at 14.9.
The composition is stark: three names, one country of origin, two living. There is no musician, no writer, no politician of the independence era, and no second athlete. That reflects coverage rather than the country. Georgia has a wine culture, a wrestling and rugby tradition and a film history that have not yet reached the evidence threshold for this issue.
What remains is a sharp illustration of how attention behaves. It attaches to notoriety long after the person is gone, to Hollywood by inheritance, and to a footballer while he is still playing. The ranking measures worldwide fame, not merit, and for Georgia that attention is divided between the twentieth century's darkest figure and its brightest current export.

About this list
This list ranks people from Georgia by their overall worldwide fame rather than local attention, as assessed for August 2026: the top 3 of 3 names, frozen as the permanent record of that edition. This is the standard reading: everyone, living or dead, on one scale. 2 of the 3 listed are living; the Alive reading restricts the same ranking to living people.
Joseph Stalin is No. 1 on this list for August 2026. Behind Joseph Stalin come Julia Roberts and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
What famous means here
Fame, in iFAMOUS, is how widely the world knows a name: how recognisable a person's name, face or work is, and how well people know who they are. It is assessed from extensive historical and current public data, some of it reaching back more than twenty years, and it is not merit, talent, importance or popularity on iFANN. The rankings model real-world global fame, not internet fame; the data is the instrument, not the subject. Activity on iFANN itself is excluded.
The month in the title is the date of this edition, not the period measured. The list is a snapshot of overall fame as it stood when the issue was frozen: a name does not lose its place because one month was quiet, and a trending moment alone does not put a name here. Trending attention is published separately on ifann.net.
How the list was ranked
The iFANN Global Fame Rankings combine worldwide Wikipedia readership across languages, worldwide news coverage and search interest anchored against stable reference names, with search history reaching back to 2004. A twelve-month baseline sits behind the current reading and short-lived surges are capped, so the list reflects durable recognition rather than one week of headlines. Rankings are computed daily on ifann.net and frozen on the second day of the following month as that month's issue; a published issue never changes.
About Georgia
Georgia is one of the countries and regions the journal ranks every month. Country lists use the same rankings and the same scale as The 100, so a name can be compared with its neighbours and against the world.
