Meaning and origin of Georgiana
Georgiana is an English and Greek name that means “feminine of George, farmer”.
Georgiana is a feminine form of George, from the Greek georgos, meaning farmer or earth worker. It became fashionable in eighteenth-century England, when the Hanoverian kings named George sat on the British throne. Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, was a celebrated society figure of the time. Readers of Jane Austen will know Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy's younger sister in Pride and Prejudice. It is pronounced jawr-jee-AN-uh in the US, though some prefer jawr-JAH-nuh. Georgia, Gigi and Gina are possible nicknames.
