Georgina

Georgina is a Latinate feminine form of George, which derives from the Greek name Georgios, built on the root georgos meaning farmer or earthworker, itself composed of ge (earth) and ergon (work). The name gained widespread use in English-speaking and Spanish-speaking countries during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, partly through aristocratic fashion following the popularity of the masculine form among British royalty. Notable bearers include Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, whose name represents a closely related variant. Georgia, Georgiana, and Giorgia are among the cognate forms found across European naming traditions.
