The population of Abari is dominated by two surnames: Lobzhanidze and Japaridze.{{harvnb|Dragadze|1988|p=4}} According to local tradition, the village was founded by a man surnamed Lobzhanidze from the Ghebi in the northernmost part of Racha in the 18th century.{{harvnb|Dragadze|1988|p=3}} The Japaridze descend from a priest sent to Abari in the 19th century. Since the Soviet period, the families in Abari have used rural-urban migration to access the different resources provided by the village and the city.{{harvnb|Dragadze|1988|pp=53–56}}
