Georgine is Greek in Origin.

Georgine is a feminine given name shaped by the French -ine suffix from George, which derives from Greek geōrgos, “earth-worker” or “farmer.” Via Latin Georgius and the widespread veneration of Saint George, the root traveled across Europe; the -ine form emerged in French and then entered English, German, and Scandinavian use.

Usage peaked in the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in Britain, the United States, Denmark, and Norway, and it is now rare with a gently antique tone. Variants and cognates include Georgia, Georgina, Georgiana, Georgene, Georgette, and the masculine George/Georg (cf. Danish Jørgen). Short forms range from Georgie and Gigi to Gina and Ina. In Danish, georgine is also the common name of the dahlia, giving the personal name an additional floral association. Overall, Georgine combines sturdy agrarian meaning with a polished, Continental ending.
