Etymology 1

The country of Georgia.

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.

Proper noun

Georgia

1. A country in Caucasus region of Eurasia. Official name: Georgia. Capital: Tbilisi.
