Varghese

Varghese, Varughese, Verghese, Geevarghese, Varughis, and Vergis are Syriac–Malayalam variants of Gregory in India. It is given as first name or last name among the Syrian Christians / Saint Thomas Christians, an ancient community of Christians in India.[1][2] The name Greg, whose origin is from the Greek root word gre, means a alert. This Greek name became popular in Eastern Orthodox Churches due to the legend of Saint Gregory . He was considered to be a saint. In Middle Eastern regions, especially in the Assyrian Christian community the saint's name was spelt as Gewargis or Gevergis. The Syrian Orthodox community within Kerala had a Malayalam variant spelt as Geevarghese. With time the name ''Geevarghese'' began to sound like two conjoined names Gee Varghese ''. Finally the name got shortened into Varghese''.
