About the name Giorgio
Giorgio is the Italian form of George, from the Greek Georgios, derived from georgos, meaning farmer, literally one who works the earth. Saint George, a soldier martyred under Diocletian and famous for the legend of slaying a dragon, made the name known throughout Christian Europe; in Italy he is the patron of Genoa and Ferrara. Giorgio Vasari, painter and architect, wrote Lives of the Artists, a foundational work of art history. The Venetian painter Giorgione, whose name means big George, and the fashion designer Giorgio Armani are among other bearers. English uses George and Spanish uses Jorge.
