Georgiann
Feminine · “earth-worker”
Inserting one letter changes which parent the compound has. Without the i the front is George, the man's name, standing whole. With it the front is Georgia, which is already a feminine — so the name stops being a man's name with something added and becomes two women's names joined.

The story of Georgiann
The country called Georgia is not named after the saint, and the confusion is old enough to have been useful. Georgians call their own country something entirely different; the western name appears to come through Persian, from a word for the region and its people, and was then reinterpreted by Europeans who knew the saint's name and found the resemblance convincing. The state in America, by contrast, genuinely is named for a person — a Hanoverian king — which means two large places share a name for two unrelated reasons, and only one of them has anything to do with the name at all.
Meaning
earth-worker, joined with grace
The first element is Greek and describes someone who works the land; the second is Hebrew and means grace or favor. Compounds of this kind are read as two senses side by side rather than blended.

Fashion outlook
Georgiann 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.
