Gevorg is Armenian in Origin.

Gevorg (Armenian: Գևորգ) is the standard Eastern Armenian form of the Greek name Georgios, from ge “earth” + ergon “work,” hence “farmer; earth-worker.” The Western Armenian reflex is typically Kevork, reflecting the shift of voiced/voiceless stops between dialects; Gevork is a common alternative transliteration. As with George across Europe, the name carries strong Christian associations through St. George, widely venerated in Armenia as Surb Gevorg/Kevork.

Its use is documented throughout medieval and modern Armenian history, seen in church dedications, the surnames Gevorgyan/Gevorkyan, and bearers such as poet Gevorg Emin and Catholicoi Gevorg IV and V. Related forms include George (English), Georg (German), Georgi (Bulgarian), Giorgi (Georgian), Gheorghe (Romanian), Georgios/Yiorgos (Greek), and Russian Georgy/Yegor. Diminutives in Armenian include Geo and Gevo. The name remains popular in Armenia and the diaspora, balancing tradition with broad international recognizability.
