Description
Origin and evolution in various languages of the name 'George'Languages that acquired the name through 19th century European expansion and colonialism are not considered
Vertical links = direct descent
Horizontal links = borrowing
Dotted links = influence
Dashed links = learned borrowing (i.e. not a natural development but a form consciously and deliberately introduced into the language, usually to mimic an older form percieved as more prestigious)
Here only the evolution of the masculine form is represented, since feminine forms are usually created following the internal rules of each language rather than being inherited.
Diminutive forms of the name are not included unless they've developed into independent forms used as names in their own right
