[edit] Etymology 1
Disputed, with several explanations offered (see w:Name of Georgia):
- From Latin Georgius, from Ancient Greek Γεώργιος (georgios, “farmer”).
- From the name of Saint George, itself from Ancient Greek Γεώργιος (georgios, “farmer”).
- Under various Persian empires, Georgians were known as Gurjhān and the country as Gurjistan (compare modern Russian Грузия (Grúzija)). This could have evolved or contributed to the modern name.
