Georgia

Georgia meaning

Georgia is an international and Christian girl's name of Greek origin.

Feminine of George: Greek geōrgos, 'land-worker, farmer'

Also used to mean: earth-worker

Georgia is the feminine of George, from the Greek geōrgos. Strong's concordance defines it as a land-worker or farmer, formed from gē, "earth", and ergon, "work"; in the New Testament the same word is used for a vinedresser. Saint George, the soldier-martyr, is the most famous bearer of the masculine form, and the American state of Georgia was named after King George II of Britain. A well-known bearer is the American painter Georgia O'Keeffe, famous for her large paintings of flowers and desert landscapes. Indian families may like that its meaning echoes Indian names tied to the earth, such as Bhumi.
