Meaning and background
The story behind Georgia
Georgia is a feminine form of George, whose older Greek root refers to a farmer or worker of the soil. The spelling also belongs to a US state and an independent country name, but those place-name histories should not be treated as the same etymology. As a dog name, Georgia has an established human-name tradition and a clear three-syllable British pronunciation.
