Meaning and origin of Georgie
Georgie is an English and Greek name that means “diminutive of Georgia: farmer”.
Georgie began as a pet form of George and Georgia and is now used on its own, especially for girls. George comes from the Greek georgos, farmer or earth worker, and was carried across Europe by devotion to Saint George, the soldier saint who became patron of England. Georgia, its feminine form, was popularized by the American state named after King George II. As a given name Georgie has a friendly, vintage feel, similar to Frankie and Charlie. It is pronounced JOR-jee. It can stand alone or serve as a nickname for Georgiana or Georgina.
