Varghese
A popular name among Malayalee Syrian Christians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Varghese, Varughese, Verghese, Geevarghese, Varughis, and Varkey are Syriac–Malayalam variants of the Assyrian Syriac/Aramaic Christian name Giwargis/Gewargis/Givargis (George). The pronunciation from Syriac/Aramaic was naturally adapted to fit the vowels of the local dialect. It is given as first, middle, or last name among the Syrian Christians.[1][2] Many names of this community are a combination of Hebrew and Aramaic names that have been adapted into the local dialect.
