Meaning & Origin
Georgy is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, an informal variant of George (Greek Georgios, meaning 'farmer' or 'earthworker') or its feminine counterpart Georgina. The -y ending gives it a diminutive, affectionate quality common in English nicknames used as given names.
Georgy has a specific cultural resonance through Georgy Girl, the iconic 1966 film and song that gave the name a particular period charm. Used for both boys and girls, it carries the easy friendliness of a nickname — approachable, warm, and impossible to take too seriously. A name that smiles when you say it.
