    Maria - Bitter.

    "George, Greek, farmer, to work the earth"
    Which as far as I know is true.

    On http://www.behindthename.com/
    "YORGOS
    Gender: Masculine
    Usage: Greek
    Other Scripts: Γιωργος (Greek)
    Variant transcription of YIORGOS"

    and

    "YIORGOS
    Gender: Masculine
    Usage: Greek
    Other Scripts: Γιωργος (Greek)
    Modern Greek form of GEORGE"

    and

    "GEORGE
    Gender: Masculine
    Usage: English, Romanian
    Pronounced: JORJ [key]
    From the Greek name Γεωργιος (Georgios) which was derived from the Greek word γεωργος (georgos) meaning "farmer, earthworker", itself derived from the elements γη (ge) "earth" and εργον (ergon) "work". Saint George was a legendary dragon slayer who was supposedly martyred in Palestine. He is the patron saint of England, Portugal and Catalonia. This name has been borne by six kings of England, two kings of Greece, and the first president of the United States, George Washington. Other famous bearers include authors George Eliot and George Orwell (both pen names; real names Mary Anne Evans and Eric Arthur Blair respectively), composer George Frideric Handel, and Pacific explorer George Vancouver."
