Georgie

Georgie is an English diminutive of George, which derives from the Greek name Georgios, itself rooted in the Greek word georgos, meaning farmer or earthworker, from ge (earth) and ergon (work). The name gained widespread use in the English-speaking world partly through the enduring popularity of Saint George, the patron saint of England, as well as several British monarchs who bore the name George. Georgie functions as both a pet form and an independent given name, used for people of any gender, and shares its ancestry with cognates such as Giorgio, Georg, and Georgina.
