What does George mean?
/dʒɔː(ɹ)dʒ/1 syllableOrigin: Ancient Greek

George descends from the Ancient Greek name Geōrgios, built from geōrgós, meaning “farmer” or “earth worker.” It's been carried by kings, saints, and generations of ordinary namesakes, and gives rise to feminine forms like Georgina and Georgia.

Steady and a little old-fashioned in the best way, George suits a pet with a calm, dependable air, the kind of companion who's happiest with dirt underfoot and a routine to keep.
