Meaning and history
Georgia is the Latinate feminine form of George. It is also the name of a U.S. state, named for British king George II, while the country of Georgia has a different, unrelated origin. A notable bearer was the American painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986).
Georgia has risen sharply in the modern US rankings, moving from #334 in 2000 to #99 in 2025. It now stands at #99 for girls. That year also produced its highest recorded birth count, at 2,619.
