Iorgas is Greek in Origin.

Iorgas is a rare Balkan form connected to the Greek and Romance traditions of the name George. It most likely reflects a dialectal/orthographic development from Greek Yorgos/Giorgos (Georgios) filtered through Aromanian and Romanian usage, where related forms Iorgu and Iorga occur. The ultimate root is Ancient Greek Georgios, from ge “earth” + ergon “work,” yielding the sense “farmer, earth‑worker.”

Recorded in Ottoman-era and later Balkan sources, Iorgas appears both as a given name and as a Hellenized surname with the -as masculine ending, sustained by the widespread cult of Saint George in the Orthodox world. Variant and cognate forms include Giorgos, Georgios, Yorgos/Yiorgos, Iorgos, Iorga, Iorgu, Gheorghe and George (Romanian), Georgi (Bulgarian), Georgiy/Yegor (East Slavic), Giorgio (Italian), Jorge (Spanish/Portuguese), and George (English/French). The name remains uncommon today but carries a traditional, pan‑Balkan character.
