Đorđe is Greek, Serbian in Origin.

Đorđe is the Serbian form of Greek Georgios, written Γεώργιος in the earliest classical form attested for the name. Georgios is an adjectival formation from geōrgos, farmer or husbandman, itself built from gē, earth, and ergon, work, with the personal-name suffix -ios. Serbian phonology reshaped the initial Greek ge- through South Slavic and Orthodox Christian transmission, while the Latin letter Đ corresponds to Cyrillic Ђ.

In Serbian usage the name appears as Ђорђе in Cyrillic and Đorđe in the standardized Latin alphabet, with Djordje common where diacritics are unavailable. Saint George gave the name a durable Orthodox association, and it appears among medieval and early modern Serbian figures, including Đorđe Branković and Karađorđe Petrović. Related South Slavic forms include Đurađ, Đurđe, Đuro, and Georgije; outside the region, cognates include Greek Georgios and English George. It remains culturally anchored in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnian Serb communities, less central in Croatian naming.
