The name George might make many people automatically think of George Clooney. But he is not alone with that name. George is one of the most widely used names in the English-speaking world. He is the English version of the Greek name Geōrgios and means as much as farmer.

​

Equally popular as this first name is the palm-like Elephant's foot. It comes from the south of the USA and Mexico and grows there in tropical forests. That's why the motto of this attractive plant for men is «The Jungle King for your home».
