History & Origin

Georgina is a Latinate feminine form of George, tracing back to the Greek Georgios, from georgos — meaning a farmer or one who works the earth, combining ge (earth) and ergon (work). The masculine George gained wide Christian use through the patron saint of England, and feminine forms followed by the 18th century.

Georgina was especially fashionable in Georgian and Victorian Britain, appearing in novels and aristocratic families alike. It enjoyed steady use through the early 20th century before declining mid-century. Today it is experiencing a quiet revival as parents seek classical alternatives to over-popular names, particularly in the UK and Australia.

Did you know? Georgina flourished as a fashionable name in 18th-century Britain, particularly after the Duchess of Devonshire — the celebrated Georgiana — became a society icon. The two spellings Georgina and Georgiana were used interchangeably.
