A bit of history

In Russia, the name George began to occur around the tenth century, after the adoption of Christianity.

Interesting is the fact that the new name was quite difficult for ourancestors - after all, they are accustomed to pagan - simple and understandable. Therefore, now in the annals of that time they find such derivatives of the name George, which are not deliberately invented - Gyurg, Gyurgi, Gyuryata, Gorgi, Dyurga, Dyurgiy, Dyurdiy. The name was not intentionally mangled - it simply seemed very difficult to remember

4 seasons Georgiev

Another important fact is when George was born. The meaning of the name, character and fate depend on the season in which the boy was born.

Summer George is a vulnerable, gentle, self-flagellation boy. He has a frequent sense of guilt, but at the same time, it is always extremely difficult for such people to apologize.

Autumn Georgy is sensible, calm, standing firmly on his feet. Excessive emotionality is alien to him and strict rationalism is inherent. He is an adherent of family traditions, disciplined, responsible. He considers his main duty to be "mammoth extraction" for the family

Winter George by the absence of pronounced emotions will give a hundred points ahead of Autumn George. Restraint and calmness are elevated to the absolute. It is difficult for open and emotional people to be friends with such Georges - they often give the impression of dry and even indifferent people. But for those who are considered their loved ones, such Georges will do everything. It's just that they are used to proving their devotion by deeds, and not by empty chatter

Spring George is sociable, open, easily finds a common language with others. Creates the appearance of a person with an easy character, but at heart he is rather cunning and ambitious;there is a carefully concealed dose of snobbery. Finds a common language with any person thanks to a combination of cunning and sociability. He is successful in business, likes women, but marries late.

Childhood

Little George is a calm, reasonable and not the most sociable boy. He is often shy to approach his peers and start a game with them, but if he is approached first, he will become an indispensable partner for games. He is trusted with secrets - little Zhora knows how to listen very well. Over time, shyness develops into confident calmness, the child does not shy away from peers, but he still does not look for company for himself. The point is also that it is at the early school age that the Georgievs develop those character traits that are inherent in them throughout their lives - stubbornness, arrogance, a sense of superiority, careful weighing of decisions.

It should be noted that although the child deep down considers himself more outstanding than all his peers, he successfully hides his arrogance. He is rarely a renegade in the team, as his comrades like to turn to him for advice or use him as a fair judge. After all, rationality and prudence are just qualities characteristic of Georgiev.

Parents should be careful, especially the father of the child. The fact is that if the father does not become an authority for George in childhood, then most likely he will not be able to achieve respect from his son when he grows up. But, having become an older friend, mentor, support for the child, the father will turnboy into a wonderful son - responsible and caring. Such George, becoming an adult, will always have respect for his elders, and with his father he will share his most secret emotional experiences.

Youth and maturity

Growing up, George acquires such qualities as ambition and responsibility. He is indifferent to alcohol, which in his case is a huge plus - after drinking, he can easily say nasty things to close people, for which he will be ashamed in the morning. In companies, he is still rarely the center of attention, but thanks to the ability to be accepted in almost any team, he is always in the thick of things. George is intolerant of lies - he does not lie, considering it below his own dignity, and does not accept liars into his circle. It is difficult to deceive him - he sees people through and through. And he never forgives an attempt at deception. He continues to keep other people's secrets, tk. is an ideal interlocutor - tactful, attentive, listening. The feeling of superiority does not go anywhere, but, as in childhood, it is not shown in public.

Career

Seldom someone is as valued at work as Georgy. Discipline, responsibility and diligence - that's what makes him an ideal employee. You can safely delegate the most difficult assignments to him - he will definitely cope with them. In general, Georges adheres to the principle “I'm not interested why not. I'm wondering what to do to make it yes. Thanks to this, success is achieved in almost any field of activity.

Family life

George are wonderful family men. A man with this name will do everything so that the family never needs anything. At the same time, he does not consider this some kind of merit - no, in his picture of the world this is a matter of course. They say about the bearers of this name: "The house is a full bowl." And indeed Georgiev has no problems with finances. He is faithful to his wife, because betrayal, which means lying, is below his dignity. At the same time, it requires crystal honesty in relationships from the second half. It rarely breaks, the only one hundred percent reason for divorce is the betrayal of the spouse. At the same time, being most often a prominent, stately, we althy man, he has many admirers, but the institution of marriage comes first for him.

Compatibility with female names

Not all women bring happiness to a man named George. The origin and meaning of this name imply that an honest, open woman, not prone to intrigues, will become an ideal wife for him; a woman with whom he will be comfortable and calm. Girls with the names Vera, Natalya, Nina, Varvara, Svetlana are well suited for this role. But Marina, Ekaterina, Lydia, Raisa, Anna or Victoria can bring difficulties and disappointments into his life. It cannot be said that with one of the bearers of these names he will be unequivocally unhappy. It is likely that the relationship will simply require a little more emotional cost.

Contradictions of character

When naming the baby George, parents should understand what they give their son along withnamed controversial character. On the one hand, all Georges have such excellent qualities as kindness, decency, responsibility, reliability and honesty. And at the same time, they are characterized by arrogance, isolation, cunning. What will prevail in the character of George? It depends on the upbringing and the environment in which the boy is becoming.
