George (English: / ˈdʒɔːrdʒ /) is a masculine given name derived from the Greek 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.
Saint George was a 3rd-century Roman soldier from Cappadocia who was martyred during the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. Later legends describe his defeat of a dragon, with which he was often depicted in medieval art.
