While spelled alike, this name is pronounced very differently in each of the two languages: Spanish Script error: No such module "IPA".; Portuguese Script error: No such module "IPA"..
It is derived from the Greek name Γεώργιος (Georgios) via Latin Georgius; the former is derived from Script error: No such module "Lang". (georgos), meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker".[1]
The Latin form Georgius had been rarely given in Western Christendom since at least the 6th century. The popularity of the name however develops from around the 12th century, in Occitan in the form Jordi, and it becomes popular at European courts after the publication of the Golden Legend in the 1260s.
The West Iberian form Jorge is on record in Portugal as the name of Jorge de Lencastre, Duke of Coimbra (1481–1550).
