George

The name George finds its origins in the Greek culture and it is traditionally used by parents looking for a name for their son. The name George has been taken from the Greek word ‘georgos’, which in turn is a compound of the two Greek elements 'ge', meaning ‘earth’ or ‘soil’ and 'ergon', meaning ‘work’. Thus the meaning of George is ‘one who works the soil’ or simply ‘a farmer’. The anglicized version of the name was unheard of until the accession of King George, who was the King of Great Britain. The name was further popularized due to its association with Saint George, the Christian martyr who was sentenced to death upon his refusal to renounce his religion of Christianity. He is known as the patron saint of England. Having been the name of more than one president of America, this name is borne by a variety of notable public figures. This includes the Civil War hero and first American president George Washington, Republican president George H.W Bush and famous American actor George Clooney.
