What Does the Name Gevorg Mean?
Gevorg is the Armenian form of George. Its meaning comes from Greek, not from Armenian roots. The Greek name Γεώργιος (Geōrgios) is based on γεωργός (geōrgos), "farmer," formed from γῆ (gē), "earth," and ἔργον (ergon), "work." The literal sense is "earthworker"; the customary English translation is "farmer."
Armenian Գևորգ (Gevorg) is a borrowing of this Greek name. In Western Armenian the same name is pronounced Kevork; the Armenian spelling is the same. It does not come from a native Armenian common noun for farmer or earth.
Gevorg Name History & Origins
According to tradition, Saint George was a Roman soldier martyred in the early fourth century. His veneration spread through the Christian East, and the Armenian Church commemorates him as Surb Gevorg. Churches and monasteries were dedicated to him, and the Greek name Γεώργιος entered Armenian as Գևորգ.
Eastern Armenian speakers say Gevorg; Western Armenian speakers say Kevork. Several catholicoi of the Armenian Church have borne the name, including Catholicos Gevorg VI (1945 - 1954). The Armenian surname Գևորգյան (Gevorgyan) is a patronymic formed from it.
