Meaning & origin
Gevork is the Armenian cognate of George, tracing back to the Greek 'georgos' (farmer). In the United States, it first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records in 1988, peaking in usage that same year. The name has maintained a stable but very low profile, with fewer than 5 births annually in recent decades. It is almost exclusively given to boys and is often associated with families of Armenian heritage. Gevork has not broken into the national top 1,000, remaining a distinctive choice within its community.
Gevork is the Armenian form of George, ultimately derived from Greek geōrgos meaning 'farmer, earthworker'. It has been a traditional Armenian given name for centuries, borne by saints and historical figures, and remains in use among the Armenian diaspora.
