The pronunciation key is not quite right. The English pronunciation (in England, the place in the English-speaking world where the name is actually used) is Jor-Jane-Ah. [noted -ed]

Georgiana (Jor-Gee-Anna, which is how I prefer to say it) is my favorite female version of George. It makes me think of little Miss Darcy, who I imagine as a quiet, sweet and well-mannered girl, though a bit awkward. If a baby girl is born on the feast of St. George, it's a good thing to name her Georgiana.

I think it’s really pretty pronounced as Jor-jane-ah sort of like how they did in The Duchess (with Keira Knightley).

I think it's okay...
I like Georgina better. This sounds a bit like a rip off, and has too much 'George' in it for my taste.

My name is Georgiana. I was born in '86 and I have met two Georgiana's in my lifetime and both of them have the name Georgiana as a middle name. Sometimes there are issues with pronunciation and it actually happens quite often most people miss the ANA at the end and pronounce it Georgina. Although I am quick to let them know that my name is Georgiana. I love my name and I would love to name my daughter after myself because I want the name to live on. The name Georgiana is not common, yet it isn't odd to the point where it is very strange to pronounce. I have always received a ridiculous amount of compliments for my name and that gives me lots of confidence. My father's name is George, hence I am Georgiana and I couldn't be prouder to say my name.

This is a really pretty name. I came across it first while reading "Pride and Prejudice." However, I prefer simply Georgia.

I much prefer the spelling Georgianna over Georgiana. It seems more classic and feminine to me. Georgiana seems more southern.

Although I don't like the name George for a boy, I love this name for a girl. Like the name Georgia, it's so classy and feminine, and although not very common right now, I think it will come back in fashion soon because of movies like "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Duchess", all having characters with this name. I’ve heard it pronounced both “Georg-ain-hu” and Georg e anna. While I like both pronunciations, I prefer the second.

More than anything the name's Greek root meaning farmer is a symbol of humbleness. The main connection is to Saint George, known in the Greek Orthodox faith as the one that fought the dragon of evil and won victoriously over him in the battle. Is a symbol of strength over evil and courage in life over anything.

It is a name that as its religious history means courage and humbleness. Quite unique, a lot of people that I've encountered have never heard of it or it seems quite new to the ears. My Romanian full name was Georgiana Florea meaning "farmers flower" taking the original meaning of the actual word in Greek. The Greeks would call St. George a word with this root, because the saint's actions represented the humbleness of a farmer but the courage of a saint.

John Keats revised a poem he'd written as a very young man which he'd addressed to "dearest Emma", and replaced this with "Georgiana". So it must have four syllables, with stresses on the first and third, otherwise the metre doesn't work out. And Keats would not have made that kind of mistake.

This is a beautiful name! It isn't overly used which is one aspect I like about it. It's also very classical and sophisticated. "Georgie" and "Ana" would be great nicknames, too!
