Iorgas
Iorgas Origin and Meaning
Iorgas is a masculine name with Greek origins, functioning as a regional variant of George (Georgios in Greek). The name ultimately derives from the Greek "georgos," meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker." This variation is particularly found in certain Greek dialects and communities. While George remains widely popular internationally, Iorgas offers a distinctive cultural alternative that maintains the name's essential heritage. The name carries associations with Greek Orthodox traditions, where Saint George is highly venerated. Though uncommon outside Greek communities, Iorgas provides an authentic connection to Greek heritage while offering a less familiar alternative to the ubiquitous George. Its distinctive pronunciation gives it a melodic quality that reflects its Mediterranean origins.
