[edit] Origin of this name

What is the origin of this name? Greek? How was it pronounced Classic Greek? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.116.97 (talk • contribs) 03:19, August 24, 2006 (UTC)

Are all subsequent Christian Georges named for Saint George? --LostLeviathan 04:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The origins of this name is Greek. Comes from the greek word Georgos (Γεωργός) which means farmer. The word Γεωργος is a compound word, formed by the words Γη (earth, soil) and έργο (work).[1] --Tdgs 21:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Giorgio

Given the number of the people with the Italian variant "Giorgio", shouldn't there also be a page about people named Giorgio? Because frankly, I looked up Giorgio on Wikipedia and there are countless Giorgios, some of which are quite prominent.(Myscrnnm 21:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC))
