What is the meaning of the name Georgy ?

The baby name Georgy is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JOR-gee (IPA: /ˈdʒɔːrɡi/).

Georgy is Greek in Origin.

Georgy is a Slavic masculine given name, most common as the Russian transliteration of Георгий, ultimately from Greek Georgios (ge “earth” + ergon “work”), yielding the meaning “farmer; earth-worker.” The cult of Saint George carried the name throughout Christendom; in the East he is venerated as Georgy/Georgiy Pobedonosets (“the Victory-Bearer”). The name has been steady in use from imperial Russia through the Soviet era, borne by figures such as statesman Georgy Lvov, Premier Georgy Malenkov, and Marshal Georgy Zhukov. In English it can appear as a friendly nickname, and the 1966 film Georgy Girl popularized the feminine pet form.

Variants and cognates include Georgiy/Georgii, Georgi (Bulgarian), Giorgi (Georgian), Heorhii/Heorhiy (Ukrainian), George (English), Georg (German/Scandinavian), Gheorghe (Romanian), Jorge (Spanish/Portuguese), Giorgio (Italian), Joris (Dutch), and György (Hungarian). East Slavic related forms Yegor/Egor and Yury/Yuri are often treated as cognates. Diminutives: Gosha, Zhora, Goga; Bulgarian Gosho; English Georgie.
