Georgina (name) explained
Georgina is a given name and the feminine form of George, along with Georgia and Georgiana. It comes from the Greek word Greek, Modern (1453-);: γεωργός (; Greek, Modern (1453-);: γέω,, "earth" + Greek, Modern (1453-);: έργο,, "work"), meaning "farmer".
The name's recent increase in usage, especially among Hispanic parents, has been attributed to the influence of Georgina Rodríguez, the subject of a Netflix series I Am Georgina in early 2022.[1]
