The Story of Giorgio
Giorgio is the Italian form of George, derived from the Greek Georgios meaning farmer or earth-worker (from ge meaning earth and ergon meaning work). Saint George, the dragon-slaying patron saint of England, gave the name widespread Christian popularity. In Italy, Giorgio has been a prestigious name carried by artists, designers, and historical figures for centuries.
Giorgio has remained consistently popular in Italy and among Italian diaspora communities worldwide. Fashion designer Giorgio Armani gave the name particular cachet in the late 20th century, associating it with luxury and Italian sophistication.
In Italy, Giorgio is associated with artistic excellence - from Giorgio Vasari (the Renaissance art historian) to Giorgio Morandi (the modernist painter) to Giorgio Armani (the fashion icon). Saint George is also a beloved saint in Italy.
