What is the meaning of the name Georgi ?

The baby name Georgi is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: JOR-jee (/ˈdʒɔːrɡi/); Bulgarian: GE-or-gi (/ˈɡe.or.ɡi/).

Georgi is Greek, Slavic in Origin.

Georgi is the Bulgarian and broader Slavic form of George, ultimately from Greek Georgios, itself from georgos “farmer, earth-worker” (ge “earth” + ergon “work”). It is used predominantly as a masculine given name; in Bulgaria it is among the commonest names, closely tied to the veneration of Saint George (Sveti Georgi).

Through the cult of Saint George, the name spread widely across the Christian world. Eastern European forms include Bulgarian Georgi (Георги) with nicknames Gosho and Gogo; Russian Georgiy/Georgii (Георгий) and the related Egor/Yegor; Ukrainian Heorhii; Romanian Gheorghe; Hungarian György; Serbian Đorđe; Croatian/Slovak Juraj; Czech Jiří; Georgian Giorgi. English and French use George; Spanish and Portuguese Jorge; German and Scandinavian Georg, Jörg, and Jørgen. Feminine counterparts include Georgia, Georgina, and Gheorghina. The spelling Georgi appears in some English contexts and may be read as a unisex variant akin to Georgie, but in its Bulgarian home it remains distinctly male.
