Kevork is Armenian in Origin.
Kevork is the Western Armenian form of the name George, deriving from Greek Georgios ("earth-worker"), from ge "earth" + ergon "work." In Armenian it appears as Գեւորգ/Գևորգ and is commonly pronounced keh-VORK. The name entered Armenian with Christianization and became entrenched through devotion to Saint George, one of the most revered warrior-martyrs in the region.
Usage is strong in Western Armenian communities of the Ottoman Empire and their diaspora in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, France, and the Americas. Variants and spellings include Gevorg (Eastern Armenian), Gevork, and the French-influenced Kévork; cognates are George, Giorgos, Jorge, and Jørgen. Nicknames such as Kevo or Kev occur in bilingual settings. Notable bearers include freedom fighter Kevork Chavush (Gevorg Chaush) and businessman Kevork Hovnanian. The enduring meaning evokes steadiness and industry - "farmer," the one who cultivates the land.
