Georgina

Georgina is the Latinate feminine form of George, which derives from the Greek name Georgios, built from the elements georgos, meaning farmer or earthworker, itself composed of ge (earth) and ergon (work). The name gained wide use in Britain and the Hispanic world during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, partly through the influence of the Hanoverian royal family and the popularity of the masculine form George. Notable bearers include Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire, the celebrated society figure of Georgian England. Related forms include Georgiana, Giorgia, Georgette, and Georgia.
