Meaning & History
Siorus is the Welsh form of George. The name derives from the Greek Georgios, meaning “farmer” or “earthworker,” from ge (earth) and ergon (work). Saint George, a Roman soldier martyred under Diocletian, popularized the name across Christendom. His legendary dragon-slaying became a symbol of good overcoming evil, and he is the patron saint of England, Portugal, and Catalonia. In Wales, the name was adapted as Siôr and Siorus, distinct from the English form. Related variants include Siors. The name has extensive cognates across languages, such as Gjergj in Albanian, Georgios in Greek, Gorka in Basque, and Gevorg or Kevork in Armenian.
