Girl name · 285 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jorgie: 285 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 46 births in 2016.

Jorgie is primarily a diminutive of George, itself from the Greek *Georgios* meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker." While traditionally a nickname for boys, Jorgie has become a lively and independent given name for girls, especially in England and Scotland. One well-known bearer is English actress Jorgie Porter, best known for her role in *Hollyoaks*, while Scottish footballer Jorgie Shaw has brought the name into the sporting world. Places named after the root name include the country of Georgia and countless Saint George churches, though no direct place connection exists for Jorgie itself. This spelling stands as a modern variant of the more common Georgie, offering a fresh, crisp twist that feels both playful and grounded.
