What Georgia means
Where Georgia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Georgia comes from Greek. The root is geōrgos, a word for the farmer, formed from gē, earth, and ergon, work. The name is the feminine form of George, and it keeps the same plain meaning: the one who tends the soil.
Its home is English. Georgia settled into use in Britain and then across the English-speaking world, a graceful counterpart to the common George. The American painter Georgia O'Keeffe wore it. Ray Charles recorded "Georgia on My Mind" in 1960, though there the name points to the American state.
The meaning stays close to the ground. A Georgia is, in the oldest sense of the word, a farmer, someone whose work is the earth itself. That is where the name began, and geōrgos still sits underneath it.
