Meaning and background
The story behind Georges
Georges is the French form of George, with the final written s normally silent in French. It shares the Greek farming-related history of George without being pronounced in exactly the English way. For a dog, Georges may appeal to someone who wants the familiar name with a clearly French spelling. The historical linguistic link is sound; an individual pet's connection to France cannot be assumed from its name alone.
