George is a common surname of Irish, English, Welsh, Middle Eastern Christian (usually Lebanese), or French origin.

Surname Origin
George historically originates from the classic Greek language with Geōrgos (Γεωργός) meaning farmer or worker of the land.

The name was widely adopted among Christians in the Eastern Empire after the martyrdom of Saint George (Georgios) in 303. Later legends describing his defeat of a dragon increasing in popularity also led to wider adoption of the name.
