It has nothing to do with modern day albania, just the same name:

P.S. Also Iberia has nothing to do with the iberian peninsula, which was known as hispania at the time.

Thats really the Romans and Greeks lazily translating foreign words. The Caucasus did nothing wrong!

I believe it was called Hiberia as well. The H was dropped some time in history along with the changes from the Spanish language.It has nothing to do with modern day albania, just the same name:

Got it. It was Greek Ἰβηρία. Since there's a dash in front of the letter Iota, the Romans generally write an H before it to mark the heavy breathing sound in Greek. That's why it was called Hiberia. Hispania was the base of the official names of the later Roman provinces. But before Rome took over the peninsula, the Greeks called it Hiberia.
