Georgio D Biography & Facts

Georgios (Γεώργιος, Geōrgios, Modern Greek: [ʝeˈorʝios] Ancient Greek: [geɔ́ːrgios]) is a Greek name derived from the word georgos (γεωργός, georgós, "farmer" lit. "earth-worker"). The word georgos (γεωργός, georgós) is a compound of ge (γῆ, ge, "earth", "soil") and ergon (ἔργον, érgon, "task", "undertaking", "work"). It is one of the most usual given names in [Greece] and [Cyprus]. The name day is 23 April (St George's Day). The English form of the name is George, the Latinized form is Georgius. It was rarely given in England prior to the accession of George I of Great Britain in 1714. The Greek name is usually anglicized as George. For example, the name of Georgios Kuprios is anglicized as George of Cyprus, and latinized as Georgius Cyprius; similarly George Hamartolos (d. 867), George Maniakes (d. 1043), George Palaiologos (d 1118). In the case of modern Greek individuals, the spelling Georgios may be retained, e.g. Georgios Christakis-Zografos (1863–1920), Georgios Stanotas (1888–1965), Georgios Grivas (1897–1974), Georgios Alogoskoufis (b. 1955), Georgios Alexopoulos (b. 1977), etc. The modern Greek short form Γιώργος Giorgos is sometimes rendered Yiorgos or Yorgos, as in Yiorgos Theotokas (1906–1966) See also All pages with titles beginning with Georgio George (given name) Georgio Giorgos All pages with titles beginning with Giorgos Georgios Karaiskakis (municipality) Georgios Kamaras Stadium References.
