Gorka

Gorka is a given name of Basque origin. It is the Basque form of the Spanish name Jorge, which itself derives from the Greek name Georgios. Georgios means "farmer" or "earth-worker." The name Gorka is commonly used for males in the Basque Country, a region spanning parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. Its popularity is a reflection of the enduring cultural influence of the Basque language and traditions. The name is pronounced roughly as "GOR-kah." While primarily a male given name, variations or adaptations of the name might exist in different cultures. It is not associated with any particular historical figures of global renown, but rather is a common personal identifier within the Basque community. The simplicity and strong phonetic quality of the name contribute to its sustained use.
