Meaning and background
The story behind Georgi
Georgi is a well-established form of George used in Bulgarian and other naming traditions. Although its spelling resembles Georgie, the two are not interchangeable in their usual cultural contexts or pronunciation. Its deeper history runs back to Greek Georgios and the word for someone working the land. The final i gives this spelling a different finish from the more familiar British George.
- Origin
- Bulgarian form of George, ultimately Greek Georgios. Source
