Origin and meaning of Giorgio
Giorgio comes from the Greek Georgios, from gê, 'earth', and érgon, 'work': it means 'earth-worker, farmer'. The cult of Saint George, the knight who slew the dragon, spread it throughout Europe and the East. In Italy it is an ever-current classic; in the variants George, Georges, Jorge and Jürgen it is one of the world's most widespread men's names, from English-speaking countries to Greece.
