George
Pronounced JORJ
- Meaning
- "Farmer; Earth worker"
- Origin
- Greek
George derives from the Greek 'georgos,' meaning 'farmer.' Jesus used farming as His primary teaching metaphor — seeds, soil, harvests, vineyards, and fig trees. Saint George, the dragon-slayer, became a symbol of good triumphing over evil. The name honors both humble labor and heroic faith.
Spiritual meaning
George honors the God who tends His vineyard — and calls His children to work alongside Him in the harvest.
