Jorginho is in Origin.

Jorginho is the Portuguese diminutive of Jorge, built with the affectionate suffix -inho and ultimately tracing to Greek Georgios via Latin Georgius. The core meaning is “farmer” or “earthworker,” from ge “earth” and ergon “work.” While first a nickname, it now appears as a stand‑alone given name in Brazil, Portugal, and other Lusophone communities, conveying warmth and familiarity while preserving the dignity of the root name.

Usage draws strength from the pan‑Christian cult of Saint George (São Jorge), long popular on the Iberian Peninsula and in Brazil, which kept Jorge and its pet forms in steady circulation. Notable modern bearers include the Brazilian footballers commonly known as Jorginho. Related forms and variants include Jorge, George, Giorgio, Jordi, Gheorghe, and Gorka; diminutive cousins include Spanish Jorgito. Feminine counterparts include Georgina and, less commonly, Jorgina.
