Meaning and history
Georges is the French form of George. George derives from Greek Georgios, from georgos, meaning “farmer” or “earth-worker.” Saint George, the soldier martyr later associated with the legend of slaying a dragon, made the name widespread throughout Christian Europe. The final s is part of standard French spelling and is normally silent. Notable bearers include pioneering French filmmaker Georges Méliès and French Cubist painter Georges Braque.
