What Does the Name Georges Mean?

Georges is the French form of George, a name meaning "earthworker" or "farmer." It comes from the Greek Georgios, which is based on georgos, "farmer." Georgos is a compound of ge, "earth," and ergon, "work," so its literal sense is "earth-worker." The common translation "farmer" is a customary equivalent rather than a separate meaning.

Georges Name History & Origins

Georges developed in French from the Latin Georgius, which was itself borrowed from Greek Georgios. The final -s is silent in French and continues the Old French nominative form; it is not a plural marker. The name belongs to the same family as English George and Italian Giorgio.

The Latin and Greek forms were carried in Christian usage through the veneration of Saint George, a soldier martyr traditionally associated with Cappadocia. His veneration was established in the Greek-speaking eastern Mediterranean and later spread in the Latin West, where Georgius became a common name. In French, that Latin name took the form Georges. The name appears in the names of historical figures such as Georges Danton, Georges Bizet, and Georges Clemenceau; such bearers illustrate the form's use rather than explain its origin.
