History & Origin

Georgene feminizes George, from the Greek georgos ('farmer, earth-worker'), with the trim -ene ending. It flourished in the same era as Georgette and Georgeanne, peaking around 1947. As the George family of names cooled, Georgene faded with it (said 'jor-JEEN').

The name grew scarce after the 1950s and is seldom given today. It reads as a crisp postwar feminine. George-rooted, tailored, and now rare.

Did you know? Georgene was one of several feminine forms of George, alongside Georgia and Georgette, and it reached its high point for American girls around 1947.
