Meaning and background
The story behind Georgette
Georgette is an established French feminine form of George. The ending changes the shape and rhythm of the name but not its underlying Greek-derived family history. It is a distinct choice from Georgia and Georgina, despite the shared ancestor. In French it is pronounced with a soft j sound and a clear final syllable; English speakers may adapt the vowels when using it as a dog name.
