Meaning & Origin
George, Georgie
Giorgi is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, the Georgian form of George, from the Greek Georgios, from georgos (farmer), meaning 'farmer' or 'tiller of the earth' — the specifically Georgian transliteration of the name of Georgia's patron saint.
With over 117 recorded births, Giorgi is the Georgian form of George — unmistakably Georgian in spelling. Saint George is the patron saint of Georgia, and his red-cross banner is the national flag. The name has been borne by numerous Georgian kings and heroes throughout medieval history. As Giorgi, the name carries the entire heritage of Georgian Orthodox Christianity and the warrior-saint who is the country's ultimate symbol of courage and faith.
