Comments (Meaning / History Only)

It is also Scottish tradition to name your last child after the father. If no male heir is born, then you name your girl and add whatever end you find suitable to make it female. In my grandmother's case, it was -ina after her father George. Hence my spelling (since I am named after my grandmother), "Georgeina". No one ever seems to spell it the this way though. I feel lucky to have such a rare spelling of a beautiful name.
It has a Greek origin - gea - earth.
