Meaning and background
The story behind Georgina
Georgina is another feminine member of the George family, used in English as well as other languages. The original Greek root behind George refers to farming, but Georgina is better described as a derived personal name than as a direct Greek word. Its ordinary British pronunciation places the emphasis on the middle syllable, giving it a longer, more formal sound than Georgie.
