Georgette
Girl name · 8 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Georgette: 8 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1975.
Georgette is the French feminine diminutive of George, ultimately from the Greek *georgos*, meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker." This elegant, slightly vintage name found its most famous bearer in Georgette Heyer (1902–1974), the prolific English author who practically invented the Regency romance genre and is still adored for her witty, meticulously researched novels. The name also belongs to the root of countless places named after Saint George, including Georgia the country and dozens of cities worldwide. A lovely alternative to the more common Georgia, Georgette has an extra layer of charm through its association with georgette, the sheer, crêpe-like fabric that became a fashion staple in the early twentieth century.
