The familiar European name George is from the Greek ge (earth) ergon (worker), georgos, the name of St George who hailed from the Holy Land where a few centuries previously the Greeks had entered led by Alexander the Great. The Georgia on the eastern side of the Black Sea is of the same etymology as Gorgan at the southern tip of the nearby Caspian Sea, anciently known as Verka, also an Indo European (Japhetic) word of the progeny of Japheth’s son Madai who brought the word vrkas (wolf) to the Indus Valley when that civilization was developed after the Tower of Babel during the Ice Age.
