Georgi

Meaning of Georgi

Georgi is a unisex name with roots in the Greek Georgios, meaning “earth-worker” or “farmer.” It enjoys widespread Eastern European usage—pronounced GAY-or-gee (/ɡɑjɔrˈɡi/) in Bulgarian, GYAWR-giy (/ɡjɑr-ɡij/) in Russian—and appears in English as JOR-jee (/dʒɔrˈdʒi/). In the United States, Georgi has maintained a modest presence since the early 2000s, slipping in and out of the top 1,000: it ranked 876th in 2006 (seven births) and most recently 918th in 2024 (six births). Its low-profile performance on the charts may not set alarm bells ringing, but it does indicate a quiet persistence. This cross-cultural versatility and unisex character make Georgi an understated yet distinctive choice for parents seeking a classical name with a contemporary edge.
