The sentence "Vrats dasht" roughly translates into "Field of Georgians". Also, it is notable that its' original name ] etymologically stands for "land of the ]" (who were a ] tribe.) in the Armenian language. The sentence "Vrats dasht" roughly translates into "Field of Georgians".

== Early history ==
First record of the region is associated with the king of ], ] at the age of 785 BC. Who records the region as part of early Proto-Georgian tribal formation of ]. accordingly, he calls this specific area Zabaha.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Melkʻonyan|first=A.

it is also notable that, in the exact same year in 785 BC, after the region switched hands from native Diauehian rule into Urartian one, the ] was founded. (Which later would become ], capital of ].) whose etymology stands for "to seize, pillage, steal, or kidnap" or, it may also mean "to take" or "to capture" and thus believe that the Erebuni at the time of its founding meant "capture", "conquest", or "victory."<ref>{{Citation|last=Sarkisyan|first=Svetlana|title=Israelyan, Martun|date=2001|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.43433|work=Oxford Music Online|publisher=Oxford University Press|doi=10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.43433|access-date=2021-09-05}}</ref>

Which, obviously indicates the fact that king of Urartu conquered the region off ] Diauehi and built a stronghold on it.<ref>{{Citation|title=Urartäische Toilettenkästchen aus Erebuni|date=1982-12-31|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/9783112320860-014|work=Gesellschaft und Kultur im alten Vorderasien|pages=95–98|publisher=De Gruyter|doi=10.1515/9783112320860-014|isbn=9783112309674|access-date=2021-09-05}}</ref>

After Urartian conquest, in 590 BC Urartu is destroyed by the Median attacks, which means that native tribes around the area would get independence. Then, the region became part of the ] in 300 BC.

The region roughly comes into the rule of Armenia in 189 BC, when ] king ] conquers it.

According to Strabo, Armenia, though a small country at first, has taken away several Iberian regions such as ] and Gogarenê (which is also called Gugark.) it is also remarkable that Armenia has also conquered Carenitis and Xerxenê, which used to border "Lesser Armenia" on which native dwellers were ] and ] who were also Kartvelian tribes.<ref>{{Cite web|title=STRABO GEOGRAPHY Book XI, Chapter 14, p325|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/11N*.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Up until the beginning of the 7th Century, the major culture in the region was Georgian.
