The word "Georgian" combines the name "Georgia" with the suffix "-ian," which denotes association. The country's name likely traces back to Persian "Gurj" or the Greek "Georgios," though its exact origin is debated. Over time, "-ian" was appended to form the demonym, a common pattern in English (e.g., "Canadian," "Italian").
