Jorge

As a boy's name, Jorge traces back to Spanish, where it is understood to mean "Spanish form of George". It is currently on the rise, with its biggest decade yet in the 2000s. As things stand now, it is a solidly familiar choice. It has quietly persisted through most of the last century of American birth records.
