George
*** Shopping-Tip: George
The name '''George''' has its origin in ancient
Greek language Greek ''GeÅ?rgios'' ({{Polytonic|ΓεώÏ?γιος}}), a derivation of the noun ''geÅ?rgos'' ({{Polytonic|γεωÏ?γός}}) "husbandman, farmer", a compound of ''gÄ“'' ({{Polytonic|γῆ}}) "earth" and ''ergon'' ({{Polytonic|á¼”Ï?γον}}) "work".
The name was rare in Antiquity, but became extremely popular in Christianity thanks to
Saint George. It remains a popular name and has many variants in the different languages.
