Djordje is Serbian in Origin.
Djordje is a South Slavic masculine name, the Serbian standard form of George. Written Đorđe in Latin script and Ђорђе in Cyrillic, Djordje is a diacritic-free transliteration; pronunciation approximates “DYOR-dyeh.” It descends from Greek Georgios (ge “earth” + ergon “work”), yielding the meaning “farmer” or “earth-worker.” The name entered Serbian usage through Christian tradition and the cult of Saint George; its feast, Đurđevdan (St. George’s Day, celebrated on 6 May), long sustained its popularity. Historical Serbian forms include Đurađ and the ecclesiastical Georgije; Montenegrin Đorđije also appears.
Related variants across languages include George, Georg, Giorgos/Giorgio, Jorge, Georges, Georgi, Gheorghe, Jerzy, Jiří, Juraj/Jure, Giorgi, György, and Russian Georgiy/Yegor. Serbian diminutives and nicknames are Đole, Đoka, and Đorđo. Iconic bearers such as Karađorđe (Đorđe Petrović), leader of the First Serbian Uprising, and singer-songwriter Đorđe Balašević have helped keep the name familiar and resonant.
