Meaning & origin
Georgine is a vintage feminine name that enjoyed its greatest popularity in the early 20th century. It was first recorded in 1881 and reached its peak rank in 1923, when it was most commonly given to baby girls. Since then, usage has steadily declined, and the name has not appeared in recent top name lists. Despite its rarity today, Georgine carries a classic, old-fashioned charm similar to other turn-of-the-century names. Its trajectory indicates a stable but low level of use, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive yet traditional choice.
Georgine is the French feminine diminutive of George, ultimately from Greek georgos meaning 'farmer' or 'earthworker'. It was adopted in English and German in the 19th century, often used as a variant of Georgiana or Georgia. The name saw peak usage in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s.
