Georgann
Feminine · “earth-worker”
Four spellings of this compound are in the record and this is the shortest. It is the only one that removes the silent e where the two names were joined — the letter that has no vowel to reach back to and no job to do — which makes it the tidiest of the four and the one that hides the seam completely.

The story of Georgann
The dragon was attached to the first element's saint a thousand years after he died. Everything early about him is a martyrdom account with no dragon anywhere in it; the story of the beast, the princess and the lance appears in the eleventh or twelfth century, spread through the crusading states, and was fixed for good by a thirteenth-century collection of saints' lives that was one of the best-read books of the Middle Ages. Almost everything anybody knows about him is later than the Norman Conquest, and the part everybody knows is later still.
Meaning
earth-worker, joined with grace
The first element is Greek and describes working the land; the second is Hebrew and means grace. The compound is read as two senses side by side rather than merged.

Fashion outlook
Georgann sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
