George (English: / ˈdʒɔːrdʒ /) is a masculine given name derived from the Greek name Georgios (Γεώργιος; Ancient Greek: [ɡeɔ́ːrɡi.os], Modern Greek: [ʝeˈorʝi.os]). [1][2][3] It may have been a theophoric name, with origins in Zeus Georgos, an early title of the Greek god Zeus.
The earliest recording of the name George is in 303, following the death of the Christian martyr Saint George. However, its origins date further back to the Greek god Zeus Georgos who was sacrificed as a means to produce a successful farm harvest.
