George Alexander Louis was the name chosen by his royal parents, William and Kate.
GEORGE: Via Old French and Latin, comprised of words meaning 'earth' and 'to
work', the name George was borne by a shadowy figure now the patron of
England, Germany and Portugal. It is thought he may have been martyred
in Palestine in the Diocletian persecution of Christians. The notion of
dragon slaying is merely a medieval Italian mistruth. Popularity
increased in the 15th century, bolstered by the appearance of George I
as king of England in 1714.
ALEXANDER: From the Latin form of Greek name Alexandros, comprised of 'to defend'
and 'man warrior', Alexander became very popular in the post-classical
period. Usage is largely derived from the fame of Alexander the Great,
King of Macedona
LOUIS: Louis was a very common name amongst French royals and noblemen. The
name was borne by sixteen French kings up to the French Revolution
.
