Georgette

As a girl's name, Georgette traces back to French, where it is understood to mean "French feminine diminutive of George". It has not kept pace since its 1950s peak. In the current registry, it is uncommon enough to feel personal. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
