Giorgio

The name Giorgio is the Italian form of the Greek name Georgios, which is derived from the Greek words 'ge' meaning 'earth' and 'ergon' meaning 'work'. Together, it means 'farmer' or 'earth-worker'.

The name Giorgio has been popular in Italy for centuries and is a common masculine given name. It is often associated with Saint George, the patron saint of many cities and countries, who is venerated for his bravery and chivalry.

In some cultures, the name Giorgio is also associated with the idea of being a protector or guardian, perhaps stemming from the legend of Saint George slaying a dragon to save a city.

While the name Giorgio is primarily used as a masculine name, some families may choose to use it as a unisex name, though this is less common.
