Etymology

From George + -ian, possibly with influence from its Latin equivalent (as other regnal adjectives and nouns so derived), Geōrgius.

Meanings

4. Pertaining to or characteristic of German poet Stefan George (1868–1933).
   • The same Georgian persona, leonine and sacerdotal (that of the aristocratic priest) appears throughout the reminiscences of all his disciples. 2001, Martin Travers, Critics of Modernity: The Literature of the Conservative Revolution in Germany, 1890–1933, page 82:
   • Kantorowicz […] warns against confusing a Georgian aesthetic “secret Germany,” which still slumbered in concealment, with contemporary, ‘awakened’ Nazi Germany. 2012, Paul Fleming, “Bodies: Ernst H. Kantorowicz”, in “Escape to Life”: German Intellectuals in New York: A Compendium on Exile after 1933, page 227:

From George + -ian, possibly with influence from its Latin equivalent (as other regnal adjectives and nouns so derived), Geōrgius.

Meanings

1. (historical) A British citizen during the reign of a king named George. ▸ A British citizen during the reigns of Kings George I and George II of Great Britain, and George III and George IV of the United Kingdom (1714–1830), sometimes also including the brief reign of William IV (1830–1837).
   • […]during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a change of character seems to take place at about the time that the Georgians became Victorians. 1972, Books and Bookmen:

   • Such, I think, was the predicament in which the young Georgians found themselves about the year 1910. Many of them—I am thinking of Mr. Forster and Mr. Lawrence in particular—spoilt their early work because, instead of throwing away those tools, they tried to use them. They tried to compromise. 1924, Virginia Woolf, “Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown”, in [Leonard Woolf], editor, Collected Essays, volume I, London: Hogarth Press, published 1966, →OCLC, page 333:
   • That search for autonomy links Edwardian literature with Modernism and with the post-Edwardian Georgians (so called after King George V). 2004, Laura Marcus, Peter Nicholls, The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century English Literature, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 83:
