What is the meaning of the name Georgia ?

The baby name Georgia is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced US: /ˈdʒɔr.dʒə/; UK: /ˈdʒɔː.dʒə/ (JOR-juh).

Georgia is Greek in Origin.

Georgia is the feminine form of George, from Greek Georgios, built from ge 'earth' + ergon 'work', meaning 'farmer' or 'earth-worker'. It entered English via Latin and French traditions; the feminine became established in Britain by the 18th century, buoyed by the prestige of Saint George and the Georgian era of kings named George. In the United States, its overlap with the colony-then-state Georgia (named for George II) further familiarized the name; notable bearers include artist Georgia O'Keeffe.

Variants and cognates span languages: Giorgia (Italian), Georgiya (Russian), Georgiana (Romanian/English), Georgina and Georgette (French/English). Diminutives include Georgie and, in some contexts, Gigi. Spelled Jorja as a modern respelling in English. The name blends sturdy, pastoral meaning with cosmopolitan breadth, equally at home as a traditional classic or a place-tinged modern choice.
