Origin: Greek

Meaning: Farmer

Georgy is a gender-neutral name, common in Slavic countries. Derived from the Greek name Georgios, it means “farmer.” As a short form of Georgina, its popularity can be credited to the protagonist in the beloved novel, film, and song, Georgy Girl. Meanwhile, the majority of the real-life namesakes share a patriotic heart and zeal, be it Georgy Plekhanov, founder of the Marxist movement in Russia, Georgy Lvov, the first prime minister of the Russian Republic, or even Georgy Beregovoy, a Soviet cosmonaut who headed a space mission. If you’d like to sow the seeds of love for your motherland in baby, Georgy is more than a fitting choice. Perhaps, it may even inspire your little one to be one of the next-generation change-makers.
