History & Origin

Gevork is the Armenian version of George, from Greek georgos, 'earth-worker' or 'farmer.' Usually spelled Gevorg in Armenia, it entered American records through Armenian immigrant families rather than any broad trend, carrying its saintly and agricultural sense intact.

In the United States Gevork was always rare and community-specific, reaching a small high around 1992 amid Armenian immigration. Someone named Gevork from that period is a young adult now, and the name is best understood as a living Armenian heritage name.

Did you know? Saint George is one of the most revered saints in Armenian Christianity, and Gevork, the Armenian George, keeps that heritage alive as a given name.
