The white grape variety originates from Moldova. The 50 or so synonyms indicate the vine's great age and once widespread distribution. Some of these are Brauner Veltliner, Feigenblättrige Feigenblättrige Imperialrebe, Fuerjmony, Fuerjmony Fehér, Fuerymony, Fuerymony Fehér, Imperialrebe, Kabak Iouziomiou, Tidva, Tigrosa, Tigva, Tigvi, Tikveno Grozde, Tikveno Grozdet, Tiudva, Tivda, Tivga, Törok Bajor, Wachteleitraube and Weiße Geisdutte.

Despite some similar synonyms and morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Azerbaijani variety Tebrizi. The parentage is unknown. It is a purely female grape variety. Nothing is known about a possible genetic relationship to the Braunweißer Veltliner variety. According to DNA analyses, it is a parent of the Kharistvala Kolkhuri variety. No stock was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
