What is the meaning of the name Georgena ?

Georgena is Greek in Origin.

Georgena is a feminine form of George, ultimately from Greek Georgios (ge "earth" + ergon "work"), giving the meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker." The -ena ending reflects an English-language elaboration; the name likely arose in the 19th century alongside Georgina, Georgiana, and Georgene, especially in Britain and North America. Phonologically it sits between Georgina and Georgene, sometimes treated as an alternative spelling of either.

Usage has been modest: records cluster in the late Victorian through mid-20th-century period, with occasional modern revivals in vintage-style naming. Related variants and cognates include Georgia, Georgina, Georgiana, Georgene, Georgine, and the continental forms Georgina (Spanish/Catalan) and Georgine (French/German). Short forms range from Georgie and Gina/Gena to Ena and Gigi. Despite its rarity, Georgena preserves the venerable, saint-linked George tradition in a softer, lyrical package.
