Behind the Name: Comments for the name Georgeanna

Comments for GEORGEANNA:

I'm not used to having this name spelled Georgeanna, I always see it as Georgianna. This name means farmer. And it is the female form of George. There is a character in Pride and Prejudice with this name.

Actually, there isn't. It's Georgiana in Pride and Prejudice (Mr. Darcy's sister.) Sorry, can't help but be geek-ish when it comes to the classics. ;)

An abomination of Georgiana. Clumsy, tasteless, obvious, American spelling - really, looks like George Anna! Its one virtue is the phonetic spelling, which clears the confusion of pronunciation associated with the original spelling, as Georgiana is pronounced both "jor-jee-AN-ə" and (in the UK) "jor-JAY-nə"; Georgeanna, however, can only be the former "jor-jee-AN-ə" pronunciation.

Famous bearer: Georgeanna Seeger Jones (1912-2005), American physician, pioneer of in vitro fertilization.
