Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

George je anglická podoba gréckeho mena Geōrgios (Γεώργιος), odvodeného od slova geōrgos (γεωργός), teda „roľník, obrábateľ pôdy“. Základ tvoria grécke gē „zem, pôda“ a ergon „práca“. Latinské Georgius je sprostredkujúca podoba, nie samostatný etymologický pôvod.
