Georgy
Georgy Origin and Meaning
Georgy is a feminine variation of George, though it can occasionally be used as a masculine name in some Eastern European contexts. Derived from the Greek name Georgios meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker," it has a charming, slightly vintage quality when used for girls. The name has particular popularity in Russia and Eastern European countries, where Georgy (sometimes spelled Georgi) has historic roots. This variation maintains the strength of the original while adding a playful, feminine twist with the 'y' ending. Less common than Georgia or Georgina in Western countries, Georgy offers a distinctive alternative with international appeal. The name carries associations with Saint George, the dragon-slaying patron saint of several countries, lending it an air of courage and nobility despite its earthy origins.
