The conflict is sometimes referred to as the Six-Day War of Abkhazia, however this name only takes into account the Abkhazian offensive that lasted from 20 to 26 May 1998, while hostilities and insurgent attacks had already occurred before that date.
Konflik ini kadang-kadang diberi julukan "Perang Enam Hari di Abkhazia", tetapi istilah ini hanya mencakup serangan Abkhazia pada tanggal 20 hingga 26 Mei 1998, padahal orang-orang Georgia sudah melancarkan serangan sebelum tanggal tersebut.
