Georgina

Georgina is a Latinate feminine form 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 English-speaking countries during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, partly through the influence of the Georgian era and the popularity of the masculine name George among European 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 different languages and traditions.
