Georgiana
Just 34 women in Poland carry it, so meeting one would stick in your memory. Greek at root, from a word for "farmer", someone who works the earth.
Georgiana Pronunciation
Georgiana is pronounced ge-org-YAH-nah (/gɛɔrgˈjana/).
What Georgiana means
Where Georgiana comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Georgiana grows from the Greek georgos, a compound of ge, earth, and ergon, work. The word named the person who tilled the ground, the farmer, the earthworker. From it came the man's name Georgios, and Georgiana is its English feminine form, sister to the shorter Georgina.
In English use the name gathered a certain grandeur. Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, born 1757, was a celebrated political hostess. Jane Austen gave the name to Georgiana Darcy, the shy younger sister in Pride and Prejudice, published 1813.
In a Polish class register the name sits a little foreign, longer than most. Poland keeps no imieniny for Georgiana, though it honours Jerzy, the same George, on 23 April. The meaning underneath stays plain. It is the earthworker, rolnik in Polish.
