Notes:

Scottish feminine form of Georg(e) + -ina. Because this is also the Latinate feminine form of George, Georgina has become very popular throughout western Europe. Ultimately from Greek "husbandman", see George.

The 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire has a number of spelling variations for this popular forename. All should be found using Soundex searches.
