MEANING & HISTORY
What does Georgina mean?
Georgina is formed from George with the feminine ending -ina. The root reaches back to Greek farmer, independently checked in the historical name dictionary.
The ending changes the personal-name form without creating a separate Greek phrase. Georgina and Georgette therefore share a base but should not be merged in exact records. The formation is about linguistic history rather than an assertion that a girl bearing the name has a farming occupation or should develop a particular temperament.
