Georgi

Girl name · 21 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Georgi: 21 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1994.

The name Georgi is a variant of George, ultimately from the Greek georgos, meaning ‘farmer’ or ‘earth-worker’. It is most familiar in its Bulgarian, Russian, and Georgian forms, often associated with Saint George, the dragon-slaying martyr who became the patron saint of England and Scotland. Famous bearers include the Russian poet Georgi Ivanov and Georgi Zhukov, the celebrated Soviet marshal of World War II. The name also links to places such as the country of Georgia, whose own name shares the same root through Saint George, and Georgetown in various English-speaking lands. As a given name, Georgi offers a softer, international twist on the classic George, and is equally used for boys and, less commonly, for girls in modern Scotland.
