Georgia

Meaning & origin

Georgia is a girl's name of English origin, traditionally used in Christian families. The name means "Of the farmer, earth-worker, the feminine of George, from Greek geōrgos, joining gē (earth) to ergon (work). It carries the dignity of those who till the land, and as a graceful Latinate form of that ancient name it doubles as a place name on two continents." and belongs to the Nature cluster — names drawn from the natural world — earth, water, sky.

Beyond its Christian heritage, Georgia is also used in Atheist traditions, reflecting how this name has traveled across cultures.

Common among British, American, European families, Georgia carries cultural weight that goes beyond its dictionary definition — it's a name with a story and a community.
