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, composed of ge (earth) and ergon (work). The name gained widespread use in the Christian world largely through the legend of Saint George, the dragon-slaying martyr who became the patron saint of England. Georgie functions as both an informal short form and an independent given name used for boys and girls alike. Closely related forms include Georgia, Georgina, Georg, and Giorgio.
