George (given name)

George is a widespread given name, derived from Greek Γεώργιος (Geōrgios)) through the Latin Georgius. While it is commonly a masculine name, in English it is also sometimes given as a feminine name. Its popularity is due to the widespread veneration of the Christian military saint Saint George (George of Lydda c. 275/281–303).

The name derives in origin from the name of Zeus Georgos, worshipped as a god of crops.

Origins

The noun γεωργός geōrgos "husbandman, farmer" and the verb γεωργέω geōrgeō "to be a farmer; to plow, till, cultivate" is found in the classical language (Plato, Aristophanes). The word geōrgos "husbandman, farmer" was one of Zeus's epithets in Athens: Ζεύς Γεωργός (Zeus Geōrgos), the god of crops and harvest.Aelius Herodianus in the 2nd century lists Georgios alongside Demetrios and Ammonios as a theophoric name derived from the theonym by suffixing -ios. It is likely that the historical Saint George (Georgios) was born in Lydda, Palestine in c. 280 as the son of a Greek Christian nobleman from Cappadocia. After his martyrdom in 303, the name Georgios soon became used more widely among Christians in the Eastern Empire.

George, son of David VII of Georgia

George, Giorgi, (Georgian: გიორგი) (1250–1268) was the eldest son of David VII Ulu, a Bagratid king of Georgia, by whom he was designated as heir-apparent to the throne. In the early 1260s, he was held as a hostage at the Mongol Ilkhan court of Hulagu Khan and later served with his father in the Mongol military ranks. He died at the age of 18 in 1268, preceding his father by two years.

Biography

George was born in 1250 to King David VII and the Alan woman Altun, whom the king took as a temporary wife because he had no children by his queen Jigda-Khatun and whom he agreed to dismiss after the birth of an heir. The marriage was, in fact, repudiated after the birth of the second child, a daughter, Tamar. George was adopted by Jigda-Khatun, who died shortly afterwards. George, along with his father, step-mother, and the uncle David VI Narin, is mentioned in a church inscription from Abelia in the south of Georgia.

George (eparch)

George (Greek: Γεώργιος) was a Byzantine governor in Africa (modern Tunisia and eastern Algeria) from ca. 632/634 to ca. 642.

Very little is known about his life. According to John Moschos, he came from Apameia in Syria. He is recorded as "eparch of Carthage", which would imply that he was a praetorian prefect. He was a supporter of the prominent theologian Maximus the Confessor, and was, according to the Doctrina Jacobi, responsible for the forced conversion of the African Jews to Christianity, as decreed by the Emperor Heraclius. The latter fact indicates that his tenure in Africa began in 634 at the latest, and possibly as early as 632.

    One

    by: George

    And so you say just the words,
    that you wanted us to hear
    Doctored prose for the world,
    while you help us breed our fears
    But you're not winning, some are grinning,
    realising that it's just a lesson,
    Every empire had had its day,
    and in the end someone has always paid
    We are all one,
    despite governments
    And we are strong,
    our time is gonna come
    How can you even dare
    to look your brother in the eye?
    You're part of it all,
    that we choose not to let into our hearts
    Old man evil, down comes your steeple
    and your friends are nowhere to be found
    Who will help you,
    when you falter and the truth comes crashing all around you?
    We are all one,
    despite governments
    And we are strong,
    our time is gonna come
    Until a child
    can grow up without mines or bombs
    Until the smallest standard
    is set for all of us
    Until the fear patrol
    has lost all that it owns
    Until the corporate sons
    see that it's time to overturn
    We are all One,
    despite governments
    And we are strong,
    our time is gonna come
