I often wondered if there was a Georgi associated with this Republic (as our own Georgia is named after King George) — it turns out the answer is no — it is related to words for “earth worker.” (In Greek, it’s ge for earth and ergon for work — which may have been borrowed into another language or two before it became Georgia though.)
