Georgia

Georgia is, of coure, the feminine form of George. George means, more or less, "farmer," so I guess we take Georgia to mean "lady farmer?" Or "farmer's wife" if you'd rather. In the U.S. if we hear "Georgia," we don't think of George though, usually. We think instead of the state named Georgia, or we automatically get "Georgia On My Mind" or "Midnight Train To Georgia" stuck in our heads. Georgia is also a country in the land formerly known as the Soviet Union. I only know one Georgia, and she gets called "Georgie" almost exclusively. In case you wondered. Georgia is a much more popular name in other English speaking countries than it is in the U.S., probably for the reasons I mentioned about what we think of when we hear the name. It's certainly not rare here in the U.S. either though, and its additional status as a saint's name probably guarantees that it's going to stick around.
