Jorge
“Spanish/Portuguese form of Greek Georgios, 'earth-worker, farmer'”
Jorge is George in a warmer climate. The Spanish and Portuguese form of the Greek Georgios, earth-worker or farmer, it carries the saint who slew the dragon and generations of writers and footballers besides—think Jorge Luis Borges, spinning labyrinths in Buenos Aires. Pronounced HOR-hay in Spanish or ZHOR-zhuh in Portuguese, the single written syllable expands into something lyrical on the tongue. It has held a steady place in the American Top 300 for decades, consistently one of the most popular Spanish-language names in the country. Classic across continents, unpretentious, and built to last without fuss, Jorge simply endures.
