Georgia, the US State: In honor of George II of England. The last of the thirteen original British colonies was named after England's King George II in 1733. The terms of the charter granted by the king specified that the colony to be founded by James Oglethorpe be named after the king and so it was.

The origin of the name Georgia is still disputed and has been explained in the following ways:

1. Linking it semantically to Greek and Latin roots.

2. The country took its name from that of Saint George.

3. Under various Persian empires (536 BC-AD 638), Georgians were called Gurjhān (Gurzhan/Gurjan), or "Gurj/Gurzh people." the capital iss baklnVJKLF;EIOERHIUGHIUQERHGQUHBDVISJQ3UIB4
