About Zhora
Zhora, meaning "land-worker" or "farmer," originates from the Ancient Greek "Geṓrgios," derived from the elements "gê" (land) and "érgon" (work). Introduced to the West during the Crusades, the name gained popularity due to the influence of St. George and the Golden Legend. In medieval Germany, it was widely used but later saw a decline. In England, the name became more prevalent after the accession of George I in the 18th century. In the United States, it ranked among the top five baby names in the mid-19th century.
