What is the meaning of the name Giorgios ?

The baby name Giorgios is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced yor-GEE-os (English approximation); Modern Greek approx: [ʝorˈʝos].

Giorgios is Greek in Origin.

Giorgios is a Latin-script rendering of the Greek given name Γεώργιος (Geórgios), derived from Ancient Greek geōrgós “farmer, earth‑worker” (gē “earth” + érgon “work”). In modern use, Georgios is the formal register and Giorgos (Γιώργος) the everyday form; Giorgios sits between them as a transliteration reflecting contemporary Greek pronunciation.

Usage has been anchored by the veneration of Saint George, the 3rd‑century martyr whose legend propelled the name across Christendom. Common equivalents include George (English), Georg (German/Scandinavian), Giorgio (Italian), Jorge (Spanish/Portuguese), Jerzy (Polish), Gheorghe (Romanian), György (Hungarian), Yury/Yegor (Russian), and Juraj (Slavic). Greek short forms and variants include Giorgos, Yorgos, Giorgis, and affectionate diminutives like Giorgakis. In Greece and the diaspora, Giorgios/Georgios remains a staple, celebrated on Saint George’s spring name day.
