===Etymology 1===
[[File:Georgia (orthographic projection with inset).svg|thumb|Location of Georgia]]

A borrowing from {{bor|en|ML.|Geōrgia}}, itself a borrowing from {{der|en|fa-cls|گرج|tr=gurj}} (with influence from {{m|la|([[sānctus]]) [[Geōrgius]]|t=Saint George}}, alluding to the saint's popularity in the country), from {{der|en|pal|𐭥𐭫𐭥𐭰𐭠𐭭|tr=wiruz-ān|t=[[Iberian]]s, Georgians|g=p}}. The term's further history is unknown; it may ultimately be a derivation from {{cog|pal|𐭢𐭥𐭫𐭢|tr=gurg|t=wolf}}, though that would be phonologically challenging; compare {{cog|xpr|𐭅𐭉𐭓𐭔𐭍|tr=wiruž-ān|g=p}}, {{cog|xcl|վիրք|վիր-ք}}, {{cog|orv|гурзи}}. Replaced earlier {{m|en|Georgie}}, from the same source via a [[Middle French]] intermediary.

Early medieval sources hypothesize that the country was named after [[w:Saint George|Saint George]], while later European accounts connect the name with agricultural tribes called "Georgi" (from {{noncog|grc|γεωργός|t=farmer}}) mentioned by classical authors ([[Pliny]], IV.26, VI.14; {{w|lang=en|Pomponius Mela|Mela}}, De Sita Orb. i.2); neither of these etymologies is accepted today.
