The story of Georgie

Georgie began as a pet form, made by adding the friendly ending -ie to George for boys or Georgina for girls. George itself comes from a Greek word for a farmer, someone who works the earth. Over time Georgie has come to stand on its own as a given name.

In Ireland it is now mostly a girls’ name. It first reached the CSO list for girls in 2012, and it has climbed in recent years to its best result yet: 17 girls in 2025, putting it at number 249. A handful of boys are given it too, with 5 boys in 2025.

Georgie is a little more familiar in Northern Ireland, where 9 girls were named Georgie in 2025 and it reached number 159 in 2023.
