Georgeanna

Georgeanna is an English compound name blending George, derived from the Greek Georgios and ultimately from the Greek word georgos meaning farmer or earthworker, with Anna, the Latinate form of the Hebrew name Channah meaning grace or favor. The combination follows a common 18th- and 19th-century English and American practice of joining established names to create feminine double names. It shares roots and close kinship with Georgiana, Georgianna, and Georgiana, as well as the shorter forms Georgia and Georgina. The name saw particular use in the American South and among English-speaking communities during the Victorian era.
