The surname George has a rich history, particularly in Irish descent. It is derived from the Old French given name Georges, which in turn comes from the Greek name Georgios, meaning farmer or earthworker. The name was popularized by the Christian martyr Saint George, who is the patron saint of England.
In Ireland, the name George has been present since medieval times and was introduced by Anglo-Norman settlers. These settlers brought the name with them as they established themselves in Ireland and intermarried with the native Irish population. Over time, the surname George became more common among Irish families, particularly in the regions where Anglo-Norman influence was strongest.
During the period of British rule in Ireland, the surname George became more widespread as it was adopted by Irish families who wished to Anglicize their names. This was often done in an effort to assimilate into English-speaking society and to avoid discrimination.
Today, the surname George can be found throughout Ireland and among the Irish diaspora around the world. It carries with it a rich history and a connection to both Anglo-Norman and native Irish heritage.
