Meaning and origin of Georgina
Georgina is a Greek and English name that means “farmer”.
Georgina is a feminine form of George, which comes from the Greek georgos, "farmer" or "earth worker," from ge, "earth," and ergon, "work." The name was popularized in Britain in the eighteenth century, when several kings named George ruled, and feminine forms like Georgina and Georgiana became fashionable. Saint George, the legendary dragon slayer and patron of England, gave the root name its fame. Pronounced jawr-JEE-nuh, Georgina has a graceful, polished sound. George, Georgie and Gina make charming nicknames. The name suits parents who want a classic choice with a hint of British elegance.
