Meaning & origin
Gevorg is an Armenian name with deep roots in Christian tradition, yet it remains distinctly uncommon in the broader United States. First recorded in U.S. births in 1992, the name reached its peak popularity in 1999 and has since held a stable trajectory. With an estimated 1 in 213,510 children receiving the name in 2025, Gevorg is a rare choice that carries cultural significance. Its appearance in California, the top state for this name, reflects the concentration of Armenian diaspora communities there. The name's stability over recent decades suggests it persists as a quiet heritage choice rather than a growing trend, making it meaningful for families wanting to honor their Armenian lineage.
Gevorg is the Armenian form of the Greek name Georgios (from geōrgos 'farmer, earth-worker'). The name spread through Armenia via early Christian veneration of Saint George, though the phonetic form Gevorg reflects Armenian sound changes. It has remained common in Armenian communities, particularly among diaspora populations in the United States after waves of immigration in the early 20th century and after 1991.
