George, one of the most classic baby names of all time, comes from the Greek name Georgios and is derived from the Greek word georgos, meaning "farmer" or "earthworker." It was a top-10 boy's name in the United States every year between 1900 and 1937 before fading out of the top-100 by 1993. George has now been a top-150 boy's name every year since 2014. "The Handmaid's Tale" star Samira Wiley took an unconventional route in 2021 when she named her daughter George Elizabeth, showing just how versatile the name can be.
