Meaning & origin
Georganne is a feminine given name that peaked in popularity in 1949, ranking among the top 1,000 names for girls in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. It is an elaborated spelling of Georgina, itself a feminine form of George. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1916 and has maintained a stable but extremely low level of use since the 1960s, with no more than a handful of births per year in recent decades. While it has never been among the most popular names nationwide, its occasional use has been concentrated in states with strong English heritage.
Georganne is a modern English variant of Georgina, the feminine form of George, which derives from the Greek name Georgios, meaning "farmer" or "earthworker." The name George was introduced to England by the Normans and became popular due to Saint George, the patron saint of England. Georganne emerged in the early 20th century as a distinctive spelling, reflecting a trend of adding an "anne" suffix to existing names.
